" . spceiman copies rorwarwa wuw oilRT FARITIS AHD.THBCBEBAW u a recentLjtter of the Venerable Edward J. -Hale Eto the Fayetteville Maminer,, he directs attention to some of the statistics presented to the Dairy ; alr Association of ISfew York.' The President f that body sad the dairy production exceeded the Value of the wheat production of the country. In 1870 the corn was valued at $500,600,000, but the ex haustion of soil was given at 20 per cefit., or $100,01)0,000 Mr. .pale re ports him as paying: 7: ' . ' . f Wheat and corn depleted the soil of its natural wealth, and, notwithstanding the vastly increased acreage devoted to these, crops, last year there was a decrease ot $25,000,000. in the total market sales. On the other hand, dairy products not only made up for the impoverishment of the soil by corn in 1879 but added f 100,000,000 to its value.", " . " ' , y '' fThese figures are certainly very suggestive and well calculated to ar rest the attention of all intelligent agriculturists. Why should the dairy be so much neglected in North Caro lina? The answer cannot be that oar State is not well adapted j to breeding cattle. It is because our people are neglectful, inert, indiffe rent, ignorant. What else can it be? Our State is admirably adapted to grazing and cattle and sheep could be raised without limit, provided the dogs were caged or killed or taxed. j We regard this matter of the dairy and of sheep husbandry as of the greatest importance to our people. Both can be made to add to the wealth of North Carolina many mil lions of dollars annually. The other day we oopied a paragraph .from the Elizabeth . City Carolinian which showed that canned vegetables were- sold in the stores of North Carolina tl at were raised on the bleak lands of Maine, where it is winter six months in the year. Such a fact is a b istering shame. The following is instructive.' i It shows what Well-directed energy and intelligence - can accomplish. ,. Mri I ale writes r: , ... .- , " , . "Another speaker said be had a farm in Vermont of 112 acres, which - nine years ago would' winter only three and a half bead of cattle, on which he now winters sijxty-nine bead, and bis ambition is to win ter one hundred bead. Vermont produced more butter and cheese than all the rest of New England combined, although it is not a dairy Btate. liotn tbe quality and quan tity of production, has been so improved that a single cow has produced 800 pounds of batter in a year, although tbe average is lOO.pouods per cow per annum, and most cows run their owners in debt. Some of tUese statements are startling. Have any of your readers a cow that produces 800 pounds ot butter in a year ? . - ; i Twenty, years ago or more, Mr. tjlannigan, of Warrentoo, had a cow that supplied eleven persons with milk land, butter, 1 after supplying others with those two prime necessi ties to the amount of $375. . This is ai fact., p When the proposition to create a new county by dismembering Gran ville and Warren was first binited at tie opening of the Legislature we suspected there was some Republican scheme or plot in it. We suppose there is no doubt that Vance county will be another Republican county, and by a considerable majority . But was there a Republican scheme at the bottom ? Tbe Granville and Warren papers think so.' . It is thought our old friend, Captain Ike Young, will boss the'eounty. - His brother will be sheriff, it Ms prophecied; his cousin county attorney; his father clerk, or something else. :', These .are ail Re publicans. But the Captain has long had a decided hankering after Con gressional, honors. For ten years he has been struggling in that direction. ffe is stillinthe field: and if he loses his present very lucrative office, Reve nue Collector forlhe Fourth District, be will be hot for tbe nomination. A he Oxford JFree Lance says he Vis quaking in his revenue boots" and is getting ready to go to Congress from V ance county in the Black District But the Democrats in the Legislature may not put Vance county in Black District, and, so; Captain the Ike raay be fooled.

Syrup the enreet and safest Cougb remedy It was published some time ago that upon an examination of school children in Boston'tt waa founa.tJpat spelling was neglected OM?2 examined 859 could notipelie verb "too." Other examples were given. iniS ; snows serious uegicui. The-Oxohian, some lime ago.noticed M:liclarGranTTt8altaclc upon the W ortberu jcommonjiscnoois, and made some strong points in, de fence of tbe evstem. it, minus sii White did hot make a Jfa1r comparijj eon.1 and that te is the failure and not- the schools. W e give one suggestive paragraph. - It sajs: h ii ' ait "ToVrove fiis Tairurt Mr. White should: have com Dared 'the census returns of two equal parts of the United States, which dif fered only in their, school system the. one having introduced public schools, the other not. - Isoth parts snouiu nave naa an equmi area, equal soil,? tqual climatej-the iobabb tants oi both should have 'followed the, sama Dursuits." should - bave enjoyed the!

Tnousands of families sever knew tbe meaning of a home, thou sands of children had heard only a mother's scolding and not a mothers prayer.";; It, insists that be schools . baye. worked wondeis for New England, and that the crimes that exist are not. to be attributed to the schools but to other causes. J New England is now a' manufacturing country, and s it is but fair to compare it jvith manu facturing populations in other conn- tries an not with rural, agricultural districts. The Oxonian says; ,, vj . j j "Compared with all the manuf acturine countries of the world, New Jfingiand is moral. The South Kiding or xotasnire and of Lancashire have seven criminals to New England's one, and : Belgium nine. Tne Southern States were, in the year 1880, not morally superior to the riew .bDgiana KtRtea because the cublic school system bad not been introduced, but because they bad a fertile soil, and tbe manner or me or me Southern people, their pursuits, etc., were of a rural character. We argue from the canana returns tbat-tbe moral state of the inhabitants of tbe New England states wonld have been infinitely worse if the nnhiio. school system bad not been intro dnced. and that of the Southern States far better if thev had been blessed with that. system." , ' . '" There is a great deal of force in this. New England would have been vastly more corrupt, we may suppose; if there had been no puWicSchools. Admitting this, we still insist, that they have failed to do what they could have done because of ' proper Home teaching. The mother are the teachers after all who point the young to the paths of virtue and honor and holiness. Where there is no light Of Christianity in the household there is apt to be more or less of moral dark ness. Where there is no home altar there are to be found almost invaria bly ungodly, wicked children. r The young mind,- pliant and ductile, must be trained or moulded by the patient and loving hands of mother. The schools I must not ignore high moral truths. " When the two areoombmed when the prayers and -ihe instrnc-; tions of the mothers are united to the faithful teaching of the school it is almost certain there will not be fail ure. New England has relied . too much on mere mental fajnipg, and even here tbe schools are not as : effi cient as they might be, Bat 'aftr all the common schools of that sso- tion are vastly ahead of rbur common schools. There the teachers are fairly educated; here the, greater part are ignorant, are illiterate. It must be acknowledged ..that the Rebei Brrgadier" from- Virginia, wbo has allied himself recently; with the Republicans,, makes a very good speech. There are some fine, some eloquent and impressive passages in his lastg speech in the Senate. . The tone and spirit of the speech are in dependent and elevated; .Its thrusts at enemies are sharp and -well direct ed. Altogether i reads like the effort of a manly, coarageofls," ele vated, pure leader who tfknows the right, and knowing dares maintain' We must say that ' in reading it felt a glow of sympathy as the ring ing sentences and noble sentiments impressed the mind, But then we remembered that an able man could make his side the side -be espoused I vi jtj iur iut3 uouue, appear just, ana non- orable jusV as' Milton's j heroic and splendid patan could from to ;l:w.

The Richmond & Dan ville road aided lib erally to complete the Air-line as a feeder, and the stockholders t even went so far as to j make Col.

Successful, competition in freights is certainly a thing to be desired for any place, but injuries often arise rather than benefits from a one-sided and unhealthful 'contest ior business.

Isn't it natural .to sup pose that the company would exert itself! to build us "up?- It may f be secondary to Richmond, ttue-jbut it baa been playing- that part generally for some time, bo that there will not. be cinch of a change in this respect.
