HPndforcirculara Ail Btvcl LAM S una VKXLHTLUV rVncc There was a pestiferous Rarlical demagogue in the last State Senate who made himself very conspicious act! disgusting to the Senators and the visitors by his incessant talk aDd by the pprsistent employment of the arts of the demagogue. Ilia name was P. C. Thomas, of the county of Davidson, and if ever a good county was shamefully misrepresented it was by this demagogue. He was not 'chut up" during the entire session until the discussion upon the rail road Commission. He made a speech against the establishment of a commission, using all the hackney ed and stereotyed arguments which are urged agaiust ihe proposed law and ottrinpting to ridicule and make little of the arguments that had been made by thoo in fnyor of the meas ure. He whs allowed plenty of rope, aud as is customary, when small deru aoges are allowed full liberty, he showed up his inconsistency so clear ly that he will not be able again to deceive the people. After Mr. Thomas had spoken ts long as he desired, the fun began. Senator LeGrand procured a file of a Ealeigh daily six or eight years ago, and began to read a Bpeech publish ed in it strongly advocating a Rail road Commission. After reading a sLort time he asked Senator Thomas if he had ever heard of that speech before. The truth dawned on the Da vidson demagogue that Senator Le Grand was reading a speech he (Thomas) had made when a member of the t-enate some years ago. The Senate applauded, the galleries smil ed audibly, and Senator Thomas showed great confusion at being made to swallow his own words, and at being shown up to the world as a turncoat. Senator LeGrand had l.im on the ruck, and he gave -him as bev.ie a rubbing by reading and ap plying his arguments as we have seen a man receive. He twieted and tin ned, tried to answer, but every word he uttered only served to show all the moie his duplicity and his un worthiness to represent a consistent nnd honest constituency. It was a scene long to be remembered and ODe that Senator Thomas ought never to be allowed to forget. We allude to the above incident today because we have seen a circu lar issued by Mr. Thomas in which he says tnat "at the request" of his ' friends from all parts of the 7th Congres ional district" he has decid ed to announce himself an "Inde pendent, Republican, Alliance aud Industrial Union candidate for Con gress." He refers to the demands of tLe Alliance and says he '-heartily endorses these resolutions nnd do mands. ' He aitacks Hon. John S. Henderson and Senator Vance, call ing tfcera politicians, and trying to fctir up the prejudices of the people against them. All this is mean nough, but he goes on to praise Hon. A. Leazar, (who was Mr. Hen derson's opponent- for the nomina tion,) to give some account ot the services he rendered the people in the legislature, and winds up with the assertion that the tricky politi cians euchered Mr. Leazar out of the nomir.ation or words t that effect We have not the circular by us, but the above is the gist of it. We say that the complimentary al lusion to Mr. Leazar is the mealiest part of the circular because the idea n.-ajjilit to be conveyed i.s that Mr. Leuzar and his lritnds are disgruut led, and that Mr. Leazar failed of nomination because he is n farmer and a known defender of the rights of the fanner. Wo have talked with Mr Leazar about i lie circular and he ih justly indignant nt the unwar ranted u.se of his name by Mr Thoums, and Ihe specious argument made by Mr. Thomas based upon his defeat. Tne Ciironiclo knows and the people of North Carolina know that Mr. Leuznr is an honor able gentleman and a Democrat "of the h raightest sect," and no words of the Davidson county demagorue can add to their appreciation of his services. We are authorized by Mr. Leazar to denounce the card and re pudiate every attempt made in it openly or covertly to show that he or his friends have any feeling of disappointment or would even alLow such F.tatements to go uncorrected. Mr. Leazar left Raleigh before the adjournment of the State Conven tion to make a speech in a township in which every Democratic vote was cast for him for the Congressional nomination. He will speak frequent ly throughout the district and urge every Democrat to give their earn est suppoit to Mr. Henderson whose ability and whose integrity entitle him not only to the support but to the confidence and esteem of all Democrats. lie doesn't expect Re publican support unless the Republi can who votes for him it opposed to the Force bill; opposed to the free coinage of 3ilver, and opposed to a reduction of taxation. Hon. John S. Henderson will be re-eiected by an increased majority if all the Demo crats in thd district are as earnest in his support aa Hon. Augustus Leazar. As for Mr. Thomas well, it will take the Alliancemcn (we mean tho.so who have always been DtmocratB) just about five seconds to repudiate him, and to despise his pretended support of their priuciplea. He is a nice man to appeal to the Alliance for support when he spoke against and veted against a railroad com mission the only measure that the Alliance aske'i the last Legislature to enact. WEEKLY WEATHER CROP BULLETIN TO HELP THE FARMERS. SENATOR VANCE PROrOSES AN AMENDMENT TO IHE TARIFF BILL "Washington Star. Senator Vance today proposed the following amendment to the Tariff bit1 : Whereas, from an early period in our history duties upoD foreign imports have been levied with the avowed purpose of promoting the interest of domestic manufactures and drawbacks or rebates have been given of the duties on raw material used in t'. e manufacture of all arti cles exported, for the same purpose; and whereas, for the encouragement of the production of spirits and to, bacco all internal revenue taxes are refunded upon those articles which are exported abroad ; and whereas, bounties have long been granted to our fishermen by a drawback of du ties upon the fait used in their busi ness, and subsidies are proposed to aid in the building and sailing of ships ; and whereas agriculture, the greatest and vjott important of all our industries, has not been and in the nature of things cannot be aided in the same manner, and duties heretofore levied for that purpose having for the most part proved to tally unvailing; and Whereas, it is desirable to do im partial justice to all of our industries, and to give uo one an advantage over the other, and inasmuch as there is no other way by which agriculture can be compensated for its contribu tions to tho support of manufact ures; therefore, De it enacted, etc.. That in all cases where it can be shown by proof satisfactory to the Secretary of the Treasury that any goods, wares or merchandise imported into this country have been purchased abroad by any citizen of the United States by exchange of larm products grown n the United States for such goods, oi where such goods have been pur chased with the proceeds or avails of such farm products in foreign count ries, such goods, wares or merchan dise shall be imported at the follow ing rates of duties, to wit : One half the present duty on ail manufactures of iron and steel; forty per cent , of the present duty on all woolen or cotton goods or articles of which wool or cotton may be the component material of chief value; one half the present duty on earthen ware, china and glassware; thirty per cent, of the present rate of duty on all material used for fertilizers or iu the manufacture thereof, and tweuty-live per cent, of the present rate of duty on jute bagging and farmer's binding twine. SOROFULA ALL HIS LIFE. I consider my cure by S S S. one of the most wonderful on record. I had the w. rtt type of Scrofula from my infancy until I was 22 years of age. My whole young life as em bittered and made miserable by the loathsome disease. T not omy suf fered from the Scrofula, but was so marked that I was ashamed to asso ciate with, aud was avo-ded by, my playmates and fellow workmem. I tried every known patent medicine, and was first and last attended by more than a dozen reputable physi cians, but in spite of all, the disease continued to grow worse. About 4 years ago a friend from Pittsburg advised me to take S. S. S., which I did, and after taking seven bottles I was cured sound and well. The old skin peeled off and was replaced by a new skin, as smooth aud free from blemish as any person. I have had no return or symptom of the disease. Henry V. Smith, Belmont, W. Va.

Sick Headache and n sensation of oppression and dullness in the head, ar very commonly produced by indigestion: morbid despondency, irritablility and over sensitiveness of the nerves may, in a majority o cases, be traced to the same cause. Dr. J. II. McLean's Liver and Kid ney Balm and Fillets will positively cure. for the week ending saturday, august-30th, 1890. Central Office, Raleigh, N. C. The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued by the North Carolina Exper iment Station-and State Service, co operating with tho Unite 1 Statts Sig ual Service, show that the week end ing Saturday, August 30tb, 1890,has been generally favorable for the max turin;; of crops. The temperature has been about the average during the day time but the nights have been too cool. The temperature ranged during the week from 94 to 52 degrees. The weather was rath er dry until the 28th, on which day copious rains fell. Some very heavy showers occurred Thursday night at a number of places. The average rain fall for the week was 1.C5 inches which is 0.25 inches above the nor mal. September is generally a dryer mouth than August. The cotton crop is still above the ayerage. It is opening rapidly and picking is in progress. New cotton is already in market. The tobacco crop also will be a fine one. Cuttieg and curing is going on, and the curings are gener ally reported good. The rains dur ing August have, however, made in the lowlands a rank growth and there will be some rough, coarse tobacco which is too big for good treatment. The crop of corn, rice and potatoes is good. Eastern District The temperature has been about the average during the day. but the nights have been cool with heavy dews. Lowest tem perature reached 54 degrees. Cot ton sh 'vs rust iu some places, but not wide spread. It is opening and picking has commenced. Rice har" vest in progress iu the southeastern counties, crops excellent and some weeks earlier than usual. Good crops of potatoes. The average rain-fall for the week in this dis trict was 1.75 inches, .vhich is some what above the average. A very heavy rain storm is reported on the night of 2Sth at Rocky Point, Pen der county. Central District The average rainfall for this week was 1.00 inch Heayy rains occurred during night of 28th. At Raleigh, Wake county, 2.25 inches fell. The highest tem perature was 94 degrees, tho lowest 52. The nights hive been cool and unfavorable to crops. Cotton is still above the average, is oponing fast. Picking is progressing rapid ly and new cotton id in market. The tobacco crop will be a fine one. Curings are . eported good. Fodder is being saved. Corn and potato crops good. Western District The weather has been warm and cloudy, with cxl mornings, and dry until the 28th. Heavy raii.s fell on the night of the 2Sth at a number of places, the aver age for the district being 2 15 inches The weather is unfavorable for cot ton; however- Saturday opened dry and warmer. Cotton has commeuo ed to open. Tobacco is being cut and cured rapidly. Corn is good on uplands and lowlands. Tho week wa favorable for making hay and fodder. THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER. Durham Sun. The country newspaper i3 tho most irteful and least compensated of all the agencies which stamp the im press of progress upon villages. Without the aid of the local paper, ocal towns are, as a rule, thriftless aud dead. It is common for small great men to sneak with contempt of the local newspaper, but the village newspaper makes more real men out of less material, more brick without straw than :.ny other factor in cre ation, and it is the one ladder on which men climb to local distinction as t he beginning of a wider fame. The beginning of the local newspa pei has always dated the increased thrift and prosperity of the general community. The local newpaper is the life of the locality, and the meas ure of its support also measures the advancement cf the people. WHEAT EXPERIMENTS. The Ohio Experiment Station dur ing the past season tested several varieties of wheat. The test, says the Baltimore Sun, was made on a piece of bottom land, about seven acres in area and very uniform in quality. It was in clover in 1889, and was plowed for wheat after re moval of the seed crop of clover. Nearly all the varieties were more or less affected with stinking smut, the relative injury from which is given below. Each plot was exactly one tenth acre in size. The yield is giv en in buphc'.s per acre, and the per cent, winter killed, as also the per cent, smutted. Wyandot yielded 34.70 bushels per acre, with 20 per cent, winter killed and 2 per cent, smutted: McQuay 33 58, with 10 per cent smut and 22 per cent, win ter killed ; Sibley's New Golden 28.03, with 42 per cent, winter kills ed, no smut ; Valiey 36 16, with 30 per cent, winter killed, 1 per cent, smut ; Red Fultz 32.50, with 33 per cent, winter killed and 2 per cent, smut ; Golden Cross 30, with 40 per cent, winter killed ; Extra Early Onkley 25.54, with 60 per cent, win ter killed, 2 per cent, smut ; Improv ised Rise 27.45, with 50 per cent. winter killed. MIDSUMMER ACTIVITY IN THE SOUTH. The Manufacturer's Record of Au gust 23, says : Some idea of the activity that pre vail in all industrial lines through out the South, and of the wide dis versity of this development, may be gained from a brief summary of the new enterprises reported in this week's issue of the Manufacturers' Record. In Virginia contracts have been practically closed for the in vestment of 81,500,000 of English money in Glasgow ; at Suffolk a 300,000 improvement company has been organized ; at Staunton a S50, 000 woodworking plant ; at Roanoke a 500,000 iron works ; at Denviile a 300,000 improvement com; any ; at Suffolk a 825,000 electric light company ; at Basic City a 100,000 woodworking factory ; at Rockland a 25,000 flour mill ; at Radford a 150,000 water works and electric company. In Florida there is great activity in phosphate developments, aud during the week a 3,000,000 company, a 1,000,000 company, a 250,000 company and a 200,000 company have been organized to mine phosphate rock and establish fertilizer works ; at Fernandina a 30,000 ice factory is to be built. n Tennessee a 500,000 cotton mill is to built, and two rolling mills, one to cost 100,000 ; a 90,000 brewery, a flour mill and 30,000 powder works. A 600,000 coal mining company has. been organized in Tex as, a 500,000 light and heat com pany in Louisiana, a 75,000 electric company in Texas, a 50,000 lumber company in Arkansas, two lumber companies of 100,000 and 12,000 capital respectively iu Texas, a 50, 000 granite company in South Caro lina, 300,000 brick works in Wash ington, 50,000 brick works in Geor gia and 50,000 brick works in Lous isiana, and a 50,( 00 shoe uianufac turiug company in oi th Carolina. Of smaller enterprises tbe number is very large, and includes saw mills, ice factories, cotton seed oil mills and many other enterprises. With such activity as this in mid summer, when Southern people are closely occupied in getting ready to handle their great cotton crop, and when Northern people are waiting for the return of fall before taking an active part in Southern develop ment, it is difficult to predict what stirring times will be seen later on in the season. In a month the cot ton crop will be moving freely and money will be very abundant, and Northern capitalists will by that time be ready to begin their South ward march in great numbers. SOW RYE IMMEDIATELY. In a late ietue of the Farm and Fireside it is said that rye for poultry is the cheapest food that can be grown, as it really requires no extra ground. Where the potatoes have been dug, or wheat harvested, sow rye, and it will remain there until spring, when the land may be put in corn. In fact, it only occupies the ground in winter if desired for pro ducing greeu food only. It will ena ble the hens to have greeu food late, and Jong after other food becomes dry, and will be the first to appear in spring. A small plat of ground in rye will enable the poultrymau to cut it as wanted, and it will grow up again to provide other supply. A MODEL FARMER. Atlanta Journal. Every tissue of the body, every bono muscle and organ, is made stronger and more healthfuly the use of Hod's Sar-sapnrilla. TIIE FIRST SYMPTOMS OF DEATH Tired feeling, dull headache, pains in various parts of the body, sinking at the pit of the stomach, loss of appetite, feverishncss, pimples or sores, are all pos itive evidence of poisoned blood. Xo matter how it became poisoned it must be puriged to avoid death. Dr. Acker's English IMood Elixfr lias never failed to remove scrofulousor syphilitic poisons. Sold under a positive guarantee by J. C. Simmons, druggist. George W. Truitt, known as the famous Georgia cotton grower and propagator of improved cotton seed, lives in Troup county, six miles from LaGrange. He is a middle-aged, medium sized man weighing about 140 pounds, 135 being energy. In approaching his home the first thing I noticed was that his barn was much larger than his house a mighty good sign I can tell you. His dwelling contains four rooms and wide piazzas front and back. It is a cosey looking, white painted building, with fresh, pretty vines clambering over the piazza. The walk leading from the gate to the steps is completely covered by an arch of cedars which are bo perfect ly intertwined that they seem to be gin growing in the air and grow downward into the ground on each side of tbe walk. Beautiful circular walks in the yard, flower beds form ed in various figures, with humming birds flitting Lere and there exhib ited a guiding hand fairer than that of any man. Magnificent orchards containing fruits of many choice kinds, and ail the attendant conveniences of a country home ere prominently visi ble. The barn is two and a half stories high fifty-fiva by thirty-five feet, with a rock cemented foundation, it contains enough last year's corn to last the plantation till Christmas, and stacks of any kinds of forage. Oats, sorghum, mi let aud the like, are cut up by a machine in the sec ond story, and dropped down into troughs to suit the appetite of the mules or horses. There is a well in the barn, and water is pumped di rectly into traughs which are fixed to Ferve each animal in the stable. The horses walk out of the rear sta ble door into a fresh Bermuda pas ture. An excellent steam ginnery, a neat machine shop in which all the plan tation machines are kept, a good blacksmith shop, several well-built tenament houses all in a lovely oak grove sodded with Bermuda Grass help to complete the picture of thi. model farmer's home. At the last Piedmont Exposition Mr. Truitt received one of the first prizes for farm exhibits. Mrs. Truitt was awarded several prizes for ladies' exhibits. Some of the forty kinds of wine, and the many varieties of canned goods, etc., are still there to add to the pleasure ot this household and the comfort of its guests. From two graded Jersey cows Mrs. Truitt has sold this year 200 pounds of butter. She has sold enough eggs and chickens to run a D DO small farm. But to ?he farm proper; Mr. Truitt says he is going to make 100 bales of cotton on 80 acres worked by two mules. xVnd these 80 acres were the principal attraction to the convention delegates, and not one of them denied the fairness of Mr. Truitt's estimate. The land is gray, with clay sub soil. Several years ago it was pain fully poor. It has been built up by high fertilization and good working. Last year it was planted in oats. It was well broken with a cutaway har row in December. It was broken twice in January with a harrow, the second ploughing being squarely across the first. Then the rows were laid off, four and a half feet wide with a scooter, followed by a John son wing. On forty acres fifty bushels of cotton seed were broad cast to the acre, and five hundred pounds of Scott's best acid put in the drill. On the other forty acres five hundred pounds of Gossipum to the acre were put in the drill and list furrows. The cotton is thirty inches apart in the drill. Most of it was chopped out by running a thirty -inch scraqe directly across the rows. This gives the rows a beautiful regularity, and enables them to be ploughed in two diametri cally opposite directions. (Think about this, its a mighty good sche.ne.) The cotton was topped about the luth ol Julv. it was ploughed five times and howed twice. Mr. Truitt uses level culture. He breaks the land deep, cultivates flat and very shallow. His lands are all well terraced and a home-made sys tem of underground drainage com, pounded out of a ditch, some logs and a plentiful supply of mother earth is frequently used. By these precautions cotton is now growing as high as your head where, a few years ago, gulleys would hide all the animals in Grant Park. Mr. Truitt says this land is 100 per cent better thau it was six years ago The cotton is called Truitt's premium prolific. The seed hss been selected by sending careful hands over the fields to pick out the finest bolls. This plan has been car ried out so persistently that now a : small boiled stalk cannot be found. J Forty average bolls of this cotton will make a pound. ! More than three hundred bolls ; were counted on one stalk. We found bolls which measured sevsn j and a half inches round one way and ; nine inches around the other look- j ing very much like a green turkey egg. There were some single stalks seven feet tall, nine feet in diameter shading sixty-five square feet of ground. This cotton looked like a swamp, and at a distance appeared too thick for entrance. A short man would get lost in it ; a timid man would not venture into it at all ; an incredulous man would never be lieve it was there unless he saw it ; wise man (if he were a farmer) would go to work and see if he couldn't grow cotton just like it We went over the land where, a few years ago, Mr. Truitt gathered fifteen bales from five acres, and when we reached the one acre on which he raised 2,200 pounds of lint, we decided that the ground was holy, and built thereon a monument of rocks to the best yield of cotton that the world has seen. The cotton rn this land the present season had to be planted over in May ; there fore it will hardly make over two and a half bales to the acre. Tbe two males which cultivated these eighty acres are beautiful dark bays ; one weighing 940 ponnd3, the other weighing 952 pounds. Can't George Truitt raise any thing but cotton, do you ask ? I have already said that he had corn enough to la3t till Christmas. Last year witt 1,902 pounds of mule flesh he made sixty five bales of cottcn- 750 bushels of corn and 1,200 bush els of oats, quantities of other pro duce, the crop yielding him 1,250 above all expenses. This year he has ten acres in corn which will make 500 bushels. The land was kept in fine condition till Ma 15 by a cutaway harrow pulled by oxen. Then the corn was plant ed. It is strcne bottom land. It has taken these two mules less than four days to give it all theploughing necessary. The corn is of the red cob variety. Mr. Truitt has twelve big Guinea hogs, which has been raised on but termilk, aud will net him above 2,000 pounds of meat On his two-mule farm he employs five hands and pays them ten dollars a mouth each. As good a farmer as he is he cannot put up with a sorry hand. He has three tenants who will make altogether fifty bales of cotton and plentj of corn. They used ten tons of guano. George W. Truitt started to farm ing even with the world. He has dug about 820,000 above the neces sities of a liviug out of the ground, and he stands today as an example to his county and State worthy of the closest imitation. MANGOES.

Courier Journal. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Keep the fence corners clean. Never hurry important work. Nurse the backward corn crop. Keep slaying bushes, briars, etc Spade up yards; keep the fowls scratching. There is more profit iu feeding young animals than old ones. A mixture of glue and fine saw dust is good to stop nail holes. Make your pig pen a hog sanita riumclean, dry, sweet and airy. Twenty-five healthy fowls are worth one hundred half sick ones. Next year's crop often depends on this year's cultivation of the soil. Provide shade for your poultry yards during hot days. It is neces sary. Keep the serface of the soil clean around the trunks of your fruit trees. It is no 6ign that tho hen medi tates harm to her owner because she lays for him. If your hens lay soft shelled eggs they are perhaps too fat; put them at work scratching. It i3 important that the corn -crib be cleaned out and fumigated so as to destroy insect?. Beware of that innocent, measley, abominable pet cat. We don't like it around chicks. The use of the mower prevents the seeding of weeds. Cut down all growth in the stubblefield. Keep your chickens tame. They do better in every way; besides, it is a great deal of satisfaction. Forcing chicks too hard in their feed, where they have a limited range, will lop over the combs of cockerels. REED AND QUAY. AN IMAGINARY DIALOGUE E ETWEES THE BOSSES. New Y'ork Herald.

Drop your Election biiL You are fid Iling while Rome burns which reminds me that some of the papers already call you Nero. Reed (Speaker) Confound ' the papers ! I want to be Speaker of the next House. Quay (Senator) Then pass the Tariff bill quick when it comes over to you. After you have done that you can do whaleyer you like. But first pass the Tariff bill. And don't go about with a sore head. You are a great man, but I know more about elections in half an hour than you do in a year. By the way, what is the condition of your fences ? Per haps you'd better go home for a couple of weeks to set them up and leave me to manage this circus.
