Then I got the .lard and the milk and tie salt, and made up the dough Well, oi course, I didn't forget U wash .-.my hands first of all, ana u tney were not ciean tney became so by the time the dough was made up. My wife 5he iifc biscuit right hot from the oven, and so I dideut put Htm in the oven until 'the iiuiil were all ready and the beefsteak was broiled and the coffee made. But those biscuit behaved very peculiar. Instead of niing upward they fell down ed, and got flatter and thin ner and uglier as they baked and browned, and so I tasted oi;e to ?ee what was the matter, and it was as sour as vineger. XL- family were all seated at the festive board awaiting the Qioriuig feast. I asked the bl'riiim as usual, excepting on tLe bi: cuit, and waited for re marks. Mrs. Arp locked at them ith. curiosity - all over 'her coin tt nance and as she snlit on o;h and raised it to her elfac c)ri?ssaid : ''Why, what upon arth did you put in the bis 'Qit'.".' "You told me that 1 jroula find the-cans where " they" Wd.to t e," said I. She went i'j :he kitched and -when she returned said: "Well,' you tfoi hold of the wrong can and you lave put acid in the flour twice and no p oda at all and made up the. donah with- sour milk be sides." Sb she got some light, bright, and toasted it and we sot along. "pretty well anyhow. My failure was privately dis fussed ana I heard somebody say : " Your pa is getting too old . aiiyhow and his eyes are not m and you had better look rouud and hunt up another cook, Jf you can find one who can cook breakfast and milk tke cow we can get along very the rest of the day." . 1 never said anything but the tl!?t. morning I slipped ont ile they were all asleep and gut a breakfast thpt was a weakfast, and my HOrsford bis cuit .were just elegant. I was Eaily ready to ring the tell hen the cook came. I was out to discharge her when I ougii of tte cow. "You can the cow," said I, and I j?ave her the food- and the bucket aud as she went forward J said,' "does she kick?" o," said I, "she is very gen-l'e- In a few minutes I looked mat way and she was nlttintr on I b w the left side of the ;aiid" pulling away at the uulk lor dear life, and she look e? at me and s-aid." can't milk ;is-h?re cow." Just then old ; ;uk7 Jrairied her hind leg with J Jrk and kicked her and the ;j0 clean over. "I kuewed dat was gwiue to kick," said 'Dia you ever milk v? said I. "Used to milk Retimes when I was a child," d sLtC "You have forgotten fro i, S'ae of tue cow to mIlk la,Ul'' sad I, and I gave her je to depart these coasts with . iiie next one was a ef. Mwf,mau witl a red strip-' tot'i bandkerchief that ahe til , around lr one hand at dinner table and didn't UQer. The giiia had prepared ii ana naa Ice cream for desert, and while the company was enjoying it inside, the dir.iE room,- our new woman had help ed herself outside. She dined and left us without saying good bye or offering her services a9 a aisbwasher. Like the cow- i milker, she was a town-raiaed darky, and, of course, no account. If you want a working woman who can milk and churn and cut the wood, if necessary,, you have got to take an old woman, or else a country-raised girl. Get one from the alliance, and if she can't cook very fine, she is not afraid of work. . The truth is, the (own-raised negro men are "much better than the women Their wives and their daughters are ? lazy and proud, and have already got the idea that to work out for wages is unfashion able. "I ain't agwme to hire out to nobody." they say. A -neuro man ? told" me to day that his wife's sister was a goed nurse and could j?et $8 a month; and he was gwiue to make her i hire out, or he wouldn't feed her any longer. These ideas of gentility they gei from the white people, for society says that a working young, man or young girl "are not first-class, and can't j mix with our set." It is a great thine for a family to be independent. It is a good thing for- the boys and lhe girls to know how to do all the family work, and to be willing to do it, and we have tried to raise our flock that way. , The boys can hang a gate or a window curtain, or put in a pane of glass, or ineud, a chair, or make a wagon for the baby, or cut the wood and feed the stock, and the girls can paper a room as nicely a Mauck, and they can cut and fit and make their own garments, from calico to silk, and cook as good a meal as anybody, but we don't want them to do these things all the time, and they'shall not as long as I can help it. There are some sociable privileges j and pleasures that are reasonable and natural and innocent, and we all like to enjoy them. If a1 friend comes to see me, i wish to entertain him pleasantly aud cordially, and not have to say, "I've got to cut some stove-wood right now, and you will have to excuse me." If ladies call to see my wife and daughters, it would not be pleasaut or polite for them to say, -'Ve don't keep a cook and are doing our own work, and you will have to excuse us this morning.'' The poor should not envy the rich for eajoying these social pleas- ares nor snouia tne country people be envious of the town people. All would do the same thing if they could, and it is everybody's duty to batter their condition if they fan. Niue farmers out of ten would move to town iThey could afford to. They would do it for their chil dren's sake for better schools and better preachers and better social advantages. But j niue ont of ten can't move, and so it is their duty te build up the country schools and country churches, and raise the grade of both. If the alliance does no other work in the legislature tnan to demand and enforce a tax that will establish a goo i ten month's school in every settlement that . can number fifty scholars between . the ages of eight and eighteen, it will have accomplished a great work. Give tne country cmidren ,a chance. If they had had it hereretofore I would have been in the country farming until now, for there my children spent the happiest years of their life. They talk about it yet with memories of delight. The springs and branches, and fi-th pond, and creek and mill not far away : the wash-hole and the spring-board ; the walks through shady, winding ways to the lime-sink field, and the little spring beyond that was over hang with haw trees; the dells and coves, and meadows, where the wild flowers grew, the hunt for huckleberries, and maypops and blackhaws, aud scaly barks, and walnuts; the ripened grain, and tbe grass falling before the reaper's blade, and their sweetj dizzy rides on the top of the loaded hay. They still love to tell how they fished, and seined, and hunted squirrels, and rab bits, and coons, and set traps for birds, and killed the water mnrcAsins that hunir in t!ie bnshes that bordered the mead ow branch. They talk about the colts they raised, ana the nar row escapes they had from but ting rams and viciou9 bulls and innawav teams, and they magnify all these accidents and the " more and more as times recedes from those happy days. If they live to the allot ted ages of three score years and ten, tbey will still recall their farming life with fonder memories than any other. Bill Ap. WILSON t WILSON COTOy;0jlTH CAROLINA, IN THE WEST. WEST KIIN" NORTH CAROLS NA ASbEEN BY THE ED IT OB Some ff lhe Towns visited, and Impressions Made on his Mind, If tnere is anything that the editor of this paper does enjoy it is the pleasure of a trip to the Western part of the Satate where God has hung the land up to dry.' The rains descend so often and in such copious quantities that the aforesaid land has a "powerful" hard time drying. On the 30th day of July it was our pleasure to board the train on our way to that inuch ly advertised and booming town of Marion, where we ar rived in the gray morning light on the following day. The growth of this place during the past twelve months is something phenominal in North Carolina. We do not suppose there is a town iu the State twice it8 present size where one fourth as much property has changed hands in the past few months as has been the case in Marion. The price of real estate has advanc ed At such a rapid rate that it made our head dizzy used as we are to the sober figures of the East to hear of the won derful advance in the price of real Jestate. Truly Marion has 'humped" herself on a regular old-fashioned "boom" aBd the best part of it is she has con siderable upon which to base this boom. Marion is situated at the foot of the Blue Ridge its climate is healthful and. the gifts of nature have been pro fusely scattered upon the town and section. The town Is fill-- ed with live business men who are at work doing their level best to make the town go for ward. A large number of dwelling houses are going up all the mechanics in the place are Kept busy while a number of manufacturing enterprises are projected, running or beiug constructed. lhe new hotel that is soon to be erected will be a handsome one and an or nament to auvl town, The "Three C's" Railr ad is graded to Marion and will soon be in operation. The Fbee Lance is the name of thettown newspaper and it is a credit to the town. Mr. James T. Griffin, a former Wilsonian, is the editor, and he is both popular and useful. The people of tbe community recognize tue lact mat nis paper is no small factor in the upbuilding of the town and thoy are giving him practical evidences of their appreciation of his labor. , We believe Marion has a bright future aud better than this peopfe with money be lieve the same thing and evi dence that belief by investing largely in real estate in and around the town. RDTHEJFOEDTON Is a place that it was our pleas ure to visit. We - went over through the country with Mr. Joe Bird one of Marion's most successful and popular attor- nevs. The drive over from Marion was very pleasant parsing over hill and dale- viewing the . grand scenery and the rough mountain roads was very enjoyable. All along the road we saw innumerable evidences of the work of the eold miners and there are sev eral companies now working the mines. A great deal of gold has been taken out of these hills and still they dig for the valuable metal. The town of Rutherford ton is the county seat of Ruther ford county, one of the best counties in that portion of tbe State. The town has about 1.500 inhabitants and we have never met a more pleasant neonle. They know how to make a fellow fell at home The Carolina Central and the 5l P.' hnth run from thelbv to Rutherfordton The town draws trade from a nood back country and will grow rapidly from now on. we believe. On our return to the hustling town of Marion, we stopped 8unday morning at a Presby terian church (we have forgot ten the name of the churcn) and spent a few hours very pleasantly and, we nope pio. fitably. we neard a good ser mon, eat a good pic-nic dinner with - Mr. Alexander one oi the cleverest men you will find any where and met a number of the sturdy, intelli gent oeole ot that neighbor- " m 1 Mm hivtd. fie qo not oeiieve tnere - j j3 a neighborhood in the State blessed with a more intelligent, aonnible looking and talking people. .

Jaw here, and j ihe; : is doing .'well.' The people-1 appreciate- worth as is evidenced ;ty their appre". J ciation or Mr. Newby. Mubphy The couuly;seat t Cherokee is situated at the extreme West era end of the State and we have always had a desire to visit the. town. We left Bryson City at about 3 o'clock in the evening. The railroad runs down the" Tuckaseigee. then up the Little Tennessee, then up Nartahala. The scenery along this line, is beyondjdescription is the wildest and most beans tiful that wa have - seen any where in the mountains, i he track wiads, round - the, moun tains, following marked out by rivers, while they race-horse speed, rocks peep ; Jorth . the path the various flow on at The rugged out of the green trees that cover all these, mountains, where there is .the shallowest coat of soil in which they can take . root. .. Would that alt our readers could view these scenes that ; speak so eloquently of -the -glory and power of the Creator ot the Universe. , , V At about 10 o'clock, we .arriv ed at Andrews a depot in the woods, sixteen . .miles : from Murphy. There we. spent the night at the ; residence of Mr. TIT t . . w. a. bryson, wnp . sent us over to Murphy the Mecca to which we were journeying.; As we drove into Murphy, the all manly form and genial face of Bob.. .Copper .met : pur gaze, lie - introduced ; us to quite quite -f . a '.number of the good people ; Murphy , and our stay in the town was a pe culiarly pleasant one. ,. The editor of the, Bulletins, ! newspaper that has. done no little towards j advertising the attractians of this section was specially kind to us. The editor of the Chief we were also pleased to meet , Murphy ii connected with Atlanta, Ga., by;, the Marietta and Torth Georgia liailroad and the Murphy branch of the Western North Carolina is graded to within five miles of tbe town and will be complet ed this year. v There are three ; large, river valleys in the county a great deal of rich farming laud and a prosperous farming people. The finest "marble in the world is found all over tb county in'fcxhaustless quantities which is quarried at . a minimum cost. There are a large number of large marble quaries in the county. The Talc lactones in the couuty are sources of con siderable revenue. The talc is found in inexhaustable quanti ties and many thousands- of dollars are invested in factories for working it. Ire n ore is found in abund ance and of the richest quality. Truly Cherokee is one of the richest counties in the State in the undeveloped resources of nature. We kuowbf no county that, in our opinion, has a brighter future and we believe Murphy. will, 'Within the next few years, be -one of the big towns in the State. If the people who own the land in the town would ouly sell their land to settlers at small figures the progress of that town would (iu our opini on) astonish the oldest inhabi tants. ASHEVILLE Is the "queen city of the West." There is no place in the State that presents a more city-like full of people and they are "on the go." . ; ., :.v The progress of tUe town is something wonderful. The price ot real estate is 'fway up." We met several nere wnose hands it gave us pleasure to shake. "Bob" Furman as ev ery bod y refers -. to the silver- head ed editor of the - Democrat has bf en no small factor in the upbuilding- of "Ashevilie. He and Col,! Jno. JXS Cameron, who carries in that'Oldjhead of his a perfect"en.oyclopedia of information,' did c that section great service.wnen they edited the Citizen. - Col, Uameron is one of the .best Equipped di tors dorth- rGarolina. has .ever had and he possesses one of the kindliest of hearts. Mr. Furs man knows ' "Western North Carolina "like a bock" and we learned more about that sec tJon of the Stats industrially and politically than we did from almost any other source, fle's a wheel-horse" in the politics of the West. ' The work of W. F. Tomlin son,r editor of the Country Home, is felt all over the West, lie edits an Alliance paper and preaches good doctrine He is conservative and believes in the Democratic party thor oughly. r The Ashevilie Citizen is once again in Democratic hands and Is doing its old time work for the party.' We enjoyed meet ing Mr. Robeson, the editor. He's a live newspaper man. .Political. . The politics of the West is very different from the East. There are very few-negroes and the people have do conception of what negro rule really means. Party ties set more loosely on the people of the West per sonal tiesare much more po tent in securing votes than is the case with this .section of the State. There" does not appear to ns to be as much in-, terest taken in politics by those who are not seeking office as is the case with us. One reason of this is that the country is more sparsely settled and the people come in contact with each other less. , ;. There are a number of North ern Republicans all over the West and they are always at work to secure Republican votes. They believe in the Re publican party that faith has been put in them from their youth up and they understand organization better than do our people. As a result the Republicans are in the West (as in the" East) always or ganized, whereas it is not so always with the Democrats. .. The general impression is that Gen. R. B. Vance will be the nominee of the Democratic party for Congress. He is a "shouting" Methodist; a great Sunday school worker:, a tem perance worker from 'way back; a popular member of the Alliance and the prime favor ite of the women and children. The Alliance of that section doed uot seem to have entered the political arena. The good old farmers of the West will no more submit to being dictated to by Alliance officers than tht-y will other folks, and' con- sequ9ntly the Alliance will not dictate the nomination. Of course the organization is ex ertiug a strong influence and it will be felt, but there appears to be no concent of action on the part of tho Alliance to nominate Vance. The names of Hon. Thomas D. Johnson, Judge James Mer- riinon, of Buncombe, Col. Frank Cox, of Polk, Kope Elias, Esq.j of MacoiiMr. Craws ford, of Haywood, and others are mentioned and the result is clothed in considerable doubt. The Democrats say they are going to elect the "man who is nominated whoever.be may be The best of feeling prevails all over the district and we have no fear for results whoever may be the nominee. E wart's political scalp is loudly called for and a triumphant Democra cy will have it. It was our pleasure to meet Mr. R. L. Leatherwood, of Bryson City He was defeated for the nomination for Solicitor of his district by Mr. George Jones, of Macon county. , Mr. Leatherwood is a good lawyer and an excellent man- and it was indeed an honor to be nominated over such a coic- peMtitor. Mr. Jones is oue of the best lawyears and men of his section and will redeem the district from Republican ism, we do not douot. lie was the member of tbe last House of Representatives from Macon county and he made a useful, earnest, member, always true to tbe interest of his people. We were reminded cf Gen. Early's narrative when the county treasurer of Ruthford county was pointed out to us. The Treasurer is a jone-leged Confederate soldier and a Radical and he works his lost lirkb for all it's worth in secur ing votes. Truly, in the words of Early, that leg ought to rise from its grave and kick him back in the party in which he belongs. . To Mothers .

The Farmers' Alliance met at Ashevilie last week in State Convention. , We give our readers herewith the full text of the annual . address of Mr. Elias Carr, President of the State Alliance : To the Officers and Dele gates of the North Caro lina State Farmers' Alli ance. Our fourth annual meeting is at hand aud the signs of the times indicate a still greater interest in the objects and aims of our order and a unity of feeling amon the agricultural classesnever before witnessed in this country. It is a source of congratulation and presages naught but good. At a bantling age at our first, Rockingham, meeting, we numbered eight county aud one hundred and thrtytwo subordinate Alli ances. At our seoond meeting, in Raleigh, we had fifty-two county and one thousand and eighteen subordinate Alliances. At our .third Fayetteville eightynine county and one thousand and eight hundred and sixteen subordinate AllK ances, with an actual member ship of sixty five thousand. To-day we Jiave a total of ninety-five county and two thousand one hundred and for ty-seven subordinate Alliances containing an approximate membership of ninety thous and, with every county in the State organized ave Dare. Notwithstanding- 1 s, applica tions for new. charters are con stantly being received and the work goes bravely on, with an increasing demand for lectur ers and organizers. The reports of the executive committee, secretary, treasurer, Slate lect urer and business agent will better set fortn the condition of the order. To them I re spectfully refer youj asKing a careful consideration .at your hands. Perhaps the most important meeting ever held in this country has been the assemb-N ling of the Farmer and Labor organizations in ot.. Louis in December last, the necessity for wh'ch was foreshowed' by that eminent statesman and jurist, the late Judye David Davis, when he said, as long ago as lobb : "ine growth of the corporate power and the malign influence which it exerts by combination oa the national and State Legislatures is a well-grounded cause rfor alarm. A struggle is pending in the near future between this over-grown power, with its vast ramifications all over the Union and a hard grip on much of the political machinery on throne hand, aud the people in an unoran zed condition on thp.other for the control of the itvernment. It will be watch ed by every patrfot with 'in tense auxrety . IN ever more prophetic words feU from the lips of any man ! The peoplo. though slow to admit it, had at last been convinced, and three millions of people sent their reDresentatives there to form an alliance against this mon strous iniquity. The unanimi ty with which the deaiands set forth bv that body were adopted and the universal. en dorsement by all the States and Territories after mature deliberation and discussion, should, and I believe will. convince our legislators of our honesty of purpsa and deter mination to. accomplish our ends. This meeting, National in character as in name, was a magnificent success in oblitera ing the old'lines of sectionalism a matter devautly to be wish ed and of first importance in se curing the necessary national legislation. While some of the demands set forth have beed grauted, the most important, the relief of the financial distress of the farmers, has been ignored. The labors of the past areas nothing if we expect to accomblish this end. This government for the last thirty years has been run in the interest of a victorious war party. The war feeling has predominated in every national election. The men .. who did the fighting have , no voice in the govenment. Who are the men in power to day ? Those that were enriched by the w.ar and its consquent legislation The ill-gotten millions oi tnese .... m legislators nas been the power behind the throne- The evidence of this is found in the history j the County Statistician, and tbe nf the laws, the history of thai sub Secretary, the sub Statistician .r.nAa tha'hiat.nrv nf thn in.inn ol honka and the historv of demonltlzation of silver. But stronger evidence yet is the present condition of the work ing classes, who, as a rule the world over, are patient and peaceable. , ;. ' . What means these labor or ganizations? This that the people see by combination alone can they live. Under a purer system of government , forty years ago these organizations" were unknown and there . was no necessity for them, but to day how different! Everv branch of trade has been com pelled to organize to save itself from absolute anhilation, and is it to be wondered at when we come to learn that the present inquitous tariff laws, the . pass-v age of which was purchased, by a few thousand rich mnnn. facturers, have robbed the peo ple and put into the pockets of these same manufacturers no less than nine billons of dollars. Hence it is that at our cltv of Washington the protest of a millionaire will over-ride the petitions of millions of working men. To what course can such a terrible state of affairs be at tributed ? It is due to the apathy or the ignorance of the masses, we must conclude the latter and it behooves the order and the State to educate the masses and teach them to think for themselves. The acts of Congress in aid of agriculture for the last twenty -five years have been few indeed compared with those of our rich manufacturers, and the tariff is so manipulated that they the few thousand reap the entire benefits. We all know but too well the result of-.1 this, reign of selfish greed. The small land owners 'are "be ing pushed to the wall, the larger ones are no longer able to make both ends meet; farms in the North, South, East and West, and especially West, that twenty-five years ago, during the period of greatest inflation, that paid a fair percentage on a valuation of $20 to $40 are now being foreclosed on mortgages for half that amount, and the former owners seeking new fields of employment for a livelihood. . It is a sad commentary on humanity, but neverthless true, that with an unequal distribu tion of wealth there is unequal distribution of social powtr. The influence of the middle class, the man of moderate means, is no longer felt in the legislative halls of the capitol, he is rjeing swept away. Wealth is rapicuy coucen crating . and out of the consequent corrup lion but two classes are form ingthe lordly rich and the beg arJy poor. While free to admit that the iniquitous' pro tective tariff has brought about tbe present depressed state of agriculture by stripping the poor of three-fourths of their natural savings aud concentrat ing a majority of the wealth of the country iu the hands of an infiuitessimally small part of the people, composed of manu facturers, trusts, pools .- and combines, a repeal alone of thhv unjust measure would not re lieve the present distress. It would not lift a single t mort gage, lne oue tning needful in the present financial condi tion of the people is a debt- paying system of finance. In comparison with which-all other questions sink into utter insignificance. While looking after our Nation al governmental relations -xremoat not lose flight of tbe education of the masses. Without thin we can not prosper and keep pace inteliec tuall.v or uiati-nally witb other States ncore liberal in this matter. r';e ronnfry ilistrieU Hre more li tie-. 1' i't upon lhe iablic ocbool system i..-i.in tbe rnwns himI .'cities; hence we ?ould be especially in terested in having better education al facilities We pay hete-in North Carolina only forty cents for public instruction lor each man, woman and child, while in the Southern States tbe flgares run up to eighty nine cents lu other words,- we sDend for education less than one- half tbe average of o'her Southern States. Now, in view of the lac that without education we cannot preserve onr " civil or religions liberties, or feel or appreciate tbe meaning of that precious heritage, freedom and realizing that there ia no ealvery o galling as the slavery due to ignorance, I heartily recommend this body to lend its aid and encouragement to a revi sion of tbe present public school system, thereby a Abiding moje extended facilities for common education.

The farmer is compelled to tell his surplus wheat, beef and cotton in free trade markets of tbe wot Id, and is not allowed to buy hjs supplies in the same market. Tbe result of this has been to im pose a heavy tax npon the farmers, and this, together with tbe con. " traction of the currency, have brought about creat distress, de- pressiou and compelled many to mortgage their farms.
