Hut there was none of that- none of that the other night The news was bad trom the start and oscillated pretty much that way all the long and tedious nitrht. bometimes a little Cleveland- -spurt would cheer ua up, but there was more bad than good, and our boys began to weaken about eleven o'clock. Those who chewed the weed chewed hard and fast and those who smoked, puffed the very gizzard out of their cigars and t)ok new courage in light ing fresh ones. The whole business beean in smoke and seemed likely to end in smoke Bulletin 137 was read, "Returns from 384 districts outside of Kings and Queens, give Cleve- 1 j o 1 -nr ir..! 1.1 O OQO Our waggish fellow citizen, Moses, exclaimed, "Veil, vot hav.de king and de queen got to do mit all dis pissness every time de puJleteen come he say somedings about de king ' aud de queen.

Another bulletin was read that gave hope for Cleveland and Editor Christian showed me his figure's and said it was going along about right. Then Ed.

"You will - know by waiting," said he, , "You will know by wafting but if figures don't lie somebody is going to be hurt." A . tall slender youth talked to himself ahd nervously fingered his cane and said, "I do hope that Har rison will be elected for it will bring millions of money down here to be invested, and we will all get some of it." Just then bulletin 196 came, . eaying the Herald conceded the Htate to Harrison. Then came the funeral a monrnf ul silence filled the smoky room. For a long minute "not a drum was heard ; not a funeral note." My devotional friend John Atkin, who came there all radiant with hope "and strong in his faith in Provideuce, whispered, ".Major, do you believe that a kind and mercif al Providence will permit the like of this? Is it possible that Harrison is elected?" "Ah, my young alii shucked many souls Ten millions Old Father MilSner, our worthy and venerable post- mastei, had slipped out unob served.

In the next .room there were a lew iiepuDiicans molding a love feast, and as the! bulletins were read, they caught thir significance, and their, glad hearts beat like a muffled drum as they nudged each other with their elbows, and said: ''Did you" hear that; Harrison is gaining all the time.

And they mean much more than formerly, touch more even now than our fathers areamea. What was thought good tillage rtonora rinn n crr WOIlld D6 " D " ' 1 thought poor tillage now by the 1 educated ana progressive war mer. There have been many and happy changes, not only in the methods of tilling the soil, but also the opinions of men as to what is good tillage. Jb arm ing like most other things has improved. Good farming is, and has been, a. growing quan tity. Its standard ol excel lence and is all the time raising. And with me these words "well tilled" mean the best farming in our state of knowledge and skill. Anrl besides thev mean a vigilance, a constant investiga tion, and untiring eQort to im prove, to find something still better, and so carry tne stan dard of farming higher. Again what will be called "well tilled" by one might not by another, for men differ here as well "as elsewhere. But I suppose a general view of rep resentative farmers as to what is .good farming is what is meant bv "well tilled" in the suftiect. To do all kinds of work in season, end what most intelligent and progressive farmers would say in the best possible manner is for our day "well tilled". If we could have a great symposium of represen tative farmers as to wnat con stitutes good farming, the mam thought would be that it was the best thought of the best minds, and the best;skill of the most skillful applied to farm ing. . It would thus be expert work. It would.be the largest scope and most perfect action of every human power ripened in the school of experience. If a little farm is "well tilled" it is done with neatness and taste. The buildings though plain and cheap, are yet trim and neat. The grounds around them are so kept as to show a refined taste. The fields are aid off with great care and judgment, with a view to the rotation of crops, and ease and facility ef cultivation. - "Well tilled" implies the best tools, and used only as the skilled workman can use them. The plow turns a straight even furrow. The mower and reap er move with the precision of a j athe. The rows of corn run as if by line. And there is sys tem, order and timeliness to everything. "Well tilled" means the best seeds and the most approved ways ot cultivating them. It means in farming what breeding means and does in stockraising. It means an intelligent adapta tion of jseeds and soils. And this implies a knowledge of soils, a knowledge of various growing crops, "a, knowledge of fertilizers and their adapta tions to soils, so &a to supply to soils in the quickest and cheapest way what is needed to feed and nourish any crop To till a farm well is to treat it kindly, as ii it were a friend. And just as kindness to a per son will bring back kindness in return, so such treatment of the soil causes it to respond in a bounteous harvest. The little farm does its best to him who has been kind to it. Thus the timely, thorough, wise and well tilled farm yields all it is capa ble of. Good tilth draws vast treasures from the air above and the earth beneath which poor tilth knows not of. .By being "well tilled" a little farm yields the income of a much larger farm poorly tilled. Good tilth takes the place of more land. And hence if one wants more land he need notbuy more surface acres; but he will, by good tilth, find as many more acres beneath those he has now. And I may add above them too, for the very sky is propitious and smiles upon and gives up its invisible treasures to a "little farm well tilled." And so I eay, good tilth takes the place of more land, or it doubles or trebles the producing capacity and profit of the land one now has it mases two Diaaes 01 grass grow wkeie but one grew be fore. Poor Richard had this thought in mind when he said, "Plow deep while sluggards sleep, and you will have corn to sell and to keep." So Solomon, that wise man of old, had this idea in mind when he faid, "He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread." - "A little farm well tilled" not am . . oniy yields tne most 01 every thing but the BEST OF EVERY THING cultivated. And being the best it sells for more, and this helps one on "the road ' to nches." It thus solves the question of hard times, of dis content, and of failure. It gives prosperity, peace of mind, suc cess and happiness. But this is not all ; it is a source of great satisfaction, if not pride, to have the best of fivervthing to keep and to sell. One can take the. surplus of his "little farm well tilled" to mar ket in full assurance of . getting the highest price, besides hav intr hi coods sought after and praised. And this relieves one of anxiety and uncertainty about the sale of his goods, and gives pleasure and pride, psace and happiness, all products of "a little farm well tilled," though not generally estimated or even thought of as such.

The State tioket is elected by a good round majority. The Legis lature is safe. This is most comforting. A U. S, Senator is safe. The people have control of their own af fairs at home, and the Dockery crowd of incapables and incen diaries are silenced and mashed There is great cause for rejoic ing in all this. It was to our people of more importance that the State ticket, Judges, ana Legislature should be Demo cratic than the President should be a Democrat. We re joice greatly in the splendid success at home. If the election had come off ten days sooner we believe that Fowle's maioritv would not have exceeded 5,000 at the most. Many canvassers thought it would be even less than that Indeed, some were very doubt fnl of victorv. But that Bur chard of Dockery -that, mar plot of Radicalism that sim pleton in politics that magli- nant slanderder of the Whites, one Eaves, by his insulting circular and his threats and his lies about Pinkertou's detec tives. and his sending his ras cally "reliables" to the polls, and the appointing of Federal Snnervisors to watch Demo cratsall these things combin ed to what the newspapers and all the stump speakers were powerless to do to first scare, then make mad, and then arouse the Whitq Men of North Carolina. To elect our ticket it was positively neces sary to force the Whites to the polls. Eave did it. His plot to intimidate was the salvation of the Democracy. Thank God for the victory '.Wilmington Star. Eeatli cf the Largest Wen an in World- the Theie died at Baltimore, on September 4th, a colored woman who weighed, it is stated, eight hundred and 'fifty pounds. If the figures are correct, the de ceased was, in a physical sense, the greatest woman in the world if not the greatest that even lived. Even the famous Daniel Lambert only reached the com paratively ordinary weight of seven hundred and thirty pounds. We have no record of any man exceeding the supreme obesity of the Baltimore lady with one , exception. In the vear 17 as tne moaesi oiaie 01 korth Carolina became the birthplace of Mr. Miles Darden who, in the course of years reached the height of seven feet six inches, and the weight of over one thousand pounds North Carolina has shown pride The Richmond State falls into line with the Constitution in its appeal to Southern people to patronize home industries. Our contemporary does not hesitate to say that the prac tice is too prevalent in Rich mond of sending to distant cities for articles which are made at home. Richmond peo ple, when they want household furniture, dress goods, and var ious things of use and ornament, send off to New York to pur chase them, notwithstanding the fact that all this merchan dise can be obtained at the same prices at home. To some extent our merchants and manufacturers are to blame for this state of affairs. Many of them do not let the public know what they have, the qual ity of their goods and their price. In a word, they do not advertise judiciously. But cus tomers are somewhat to blame themselves. Oar contemporary says of the Richmond people : "Another and large class of Richmond buyers is that which buys dry goods and notions by mail. The class affor ds the big New York house its extreme felicity. It buys goods in value from 5 cents to b-"0, and is caught by the broadside ad vertisements in the Gotham pa pers, giving prices, and closing with the alluring catch-phrase, 'Orders by mail a specialty.' This is a favorite method, by means of which New ork deal ers unload a great quantity of out of date or shop-worn goods " TFe take this opportunity to inform the guiltless lady pur chasers of Richmoid that the big New York house outiht not to dclude them by any such phrase as 17e buy in large quantities aud can aliord to sell cheaper.' Can tho New York establishment whose house rent is 12,000 dollars a year? And asain : The New York merch ant, if he has any sense, will know six months before hand just what kind of jxiods the manufacturer will turn out the next year. That style may be very different from the prevail ing style, and any goods on his shelves when the next style arrives will be a loss. Hence, his only hopes is to offer promptly by mail.' " This applies to Atlanta and other Southern cities. Many ladies and gentleman in At lanta make it a point to order their wearing apparel from New Y'ork. They buy almost everything there, from the stove to the suite of parlor furniture. Yet, if they but knew it, they could buy identically the same things here and save money. Atlanta manuiecturera and merchants can afford to undersell their Northern com petitors, because they pay less here for rent, labor, and in shape of taxes and other penses. It is useless to urge "the pat ronage of our locaV dealers from considerations of patriot ism and friendship, but the appeal ought to have some effect when the people can be made The defeat of Hon. F. M. Simmons for Congress in this district is a blow that our peo pl3 feel keenly. They feel that one of the must useful men in the National Congress Las been displaced by an incompe tent negro. They feel that the people of the district both white and black desired his election, and that it was only the money of the protectionists of the North that prevented him from completely over coming the majority that this district is expected to give the Republican ticket. They feel that the brave fight that he made in Congress in the in terest of tariff reform, that his efforts to break the infamous , Cotton Bagging Trust, contri buted largely to his defeat.

N. Y. Medical Record. Our Timber Eesouces. The timber resources of North Carolina are something wonderful. Northern capital is investing in the timber and timber lands of the State, and daily developing what we in our innocence have regarded as of no account. It will astonish the readers of this paper to know that in an adjoining county parties have invested ten thousand dollars for a dredge boat in the woods, and are expending a hundred thou sand dollars a year in digging a canal to afford an outlet to deep water for their lumber product. These parties have undertaken to construct a canal thirty feet wide, six feet deep and seven miles long, iu order to render valuable their invest ment in the wild wastes of one of our swamps.

There is one position in our own htate that 13, it seems to me, decidedly to the iuterest of North Carolina that Mr. Sim mons should be elected ti fill. That position is the presidency of the Atlantic and North Caro lina Railroad. For several years Mr. Sim mon wn- state's proxy ror mat road : he has been conversant with its condition and needs from his. boyhood : he lives at New Berne, among the people who have been most heavily taxed to pay for the construc tion of the road ; he is a busi ness man of few equals ; has the confidence of the people as few men have been able to gain ; he would engage in no factional fight with other rail roads, and would therefore be able to secure the best possible freight rates for the people along the line of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. Possessing all these elements of fitness for the iposition it would be a graceful tribute to the people of the entire Second Congressional district, as well as a prudent business arrange ment for the State, if Governor 1'owle when he takes his seat in the capitol at Raleigh would appoint, or ca,u:-3 to be elected, Hou. r.
