We are not yet prophesying as to the re sults, but at the conclusion of another week and the entrance upon the sixth week before the election have no hesitation in saying that if the election were to be held next Tuesday, instead of six Tuesdays hence Mr. Bryan would come off the winner. He is conducting an exceedingly ef fective campaign, agressive and yet judicious. His invasion of the East has been, a triumph; his re ception marked by a series of ovations. He was never before so cordially welcomed in New York and the Washington Post, which is opposing him, states the case correctly when it says that the enthusiasm with which he has been received in that State "cannot be ignored, by impartial observers;" that "the State was always doubtful and is doubtful now. There may be greater sur prises in November," it con cludes, "than the carrying of New Yoik by Bryan and Chan ler." The Republicans have be come alive to the fact that the contest which they thought six weeks ago would be a holiday affair, is a matter of very serious business. Judge Taft has not measured up to public expecta tion, and the panic, unemployed workingmen and trust affiliation have been pressed upon them with such vigor that the Repub licans are plainly embarassed. In a word, there is everything in the situation to-day to give the Democrats of the country en couragement. Charlotte Obser ver. Harried Men In Trouble.

Frank Monroe Beverly, Soils Damaged More Than Half a Millinn Dollars hv Froisnn During the Recent Heavy Rains. The heavy rains during the last of August not only did an enorm ous amount of damage to crops, bridges, railroads, and roads, but according to an estimate made by W. W. Ashe, Forester of the North Carolina Geological Survey, the upland farming lands of the mid dle portion of the State have been washed to an extent of more than half a million dollars, the damage being heaviest in those sections where the country was most hilly and the rainfall most concen trated. This estimate, which is based on the amount of soil which was shown to be in the water of the rivers during the floods, indicates that more than 1,500,000 tons of soil were washed from the hills of the Piedmont during that one week of rain. About one-fifth of the solid matter which causes the muddiness of the water during floods is humus, which is washed chiefly from the hillside farms. At two dollars a ton, which is probably less than the cost of re placing it, the loss to the farmers of the State only in the impover ishment of their soils exceeds $500,000. This is a loss which is much underestimated or entirely overlooked by the farmer because it is a loss which takes place so constantly. In the aggregate, however, it is so enormous that it is one of the chief, if not the chief reason for the poverty of so many of the red clay hillside farms, and it is keeping them depleted of the humus or manural portion of the soils. This is a loss to which northern soils are not nearly so subject on account of the lighter rainfalls and their more genera character. The rainfall at Raleigh and at manv other points in middle North Carolina was 12 inches in four days; at points in upper South Carolina 15 inches fell in two days; while more than inches fell in one day at many places. Such concentrated pre cipitation, tropical in character, does not occur in the farming regions of the northeast. It fol lows that if the farmers of the South wish to preserve their hill side lands they must not only use every possible means of prevent ing erosion which are used at the North but additional means as well: not only deep plowing and cover crops but terracing as well; not hillside ditches, but level ter races. There should be no land lying idle without a crop of some kind on it to protect tne soil. All land which is not in cultivation should be protected from wash ing by keeping it in timber. In North Carolina there are about 1,000,000 acres of idle farm ing land which should be planted . i i l in timoer 11 lor no otner reason than to prevent it from washing, but the timber will make a good investment besides, as it will be arrowing all the time without any cultivation, and will soon be large enough for posts, barn poles, and even small saw logs. For any in formation about how to plant old gullied fields in young trees write the State Geologist, Chapel Hill, N. C. Jos. H. Pratt, State Geologist j r; Great Snow Storm. ; The following interesting par ticulars of the great snow-storm of January, 1857, were taken down by Jas. A. Egerton, Esq., of Warrenton, Warren county, North Carolina: ' . . For future reference, I make this note of the greatest snow storm ever seen in this section of country, as there is already many exagerated reports as to its depth, &c, &c. It commenced falling on Satu r day night, the 17th. January, 1857, and continued with much wind, until about daybreak on the Monday following. It is im possible to say with any certainty what the average depth was, though I would say 18 or 20 inches some say 2 feet it lies in many places 6 feet deep. I have seen it 8 feet deep at one place in the road this was a break like an excavation of the railroad. All the excavations of the railroad, without regard to depth, were full or nearly so. State of the Thermometer: Sunday night, 4 degrees above zero; Monday morning, 9 de grees; Monday night, 13 degrees; Tuesday morning, 18 degrees; warmest time Wednesday, 34 de grees; Wednesday night, 28 de grees; Thursday morning, 8 de grees; Thursday night, 6 degrees; Friday morning, at or about sun rise, 6 degrees below zero; Fri day night, 6 degrees above zero; Saturday, 12 degrees; after which it ranged from 18 degrees to 33 degrees, until Saturday, the 31st which is the time this is entered, (from notes kept). The snow is now going off with occasional rain. James A. Egerton. Warrenton, N. C, Jan; 31, 1857. Richard Olney For Bryan. If any member of the late President Cleveland's cabinets has been-lauded by Republicans, that member is Richard Olney, who was Secretary of State. Mr. Olney has written exhaustively this year to demonstrate that, not only all Democrats should vote for Mr. Bryan, but that Re publicans should do the same. It will be interesting, not to say edifying, to read what Republi can newspapers will say of Mr. Olney 's statement. COME. SEE. Anything1 AMERICA'S' LANDED MAN. Mr. George W. Vanderbilt's Vast Territory at Biitmore. On the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, near the fam ous winter society colony at Ashe ville, George W. Vanderbilt has created one of the greatest es tates in America. He has. turned a mountain into a home site, torn down, blasted and dug away a vast pyramid of earth and rock, at a cost of a million dollars; then he told his engineers to go a thousand miles away and get enough limestone to build a house on this cut-off mountain a house such as is seen, in the valley of the Loire in France a Norman castle. They brought the lime stone and oak and other woods for the floors and walls and doors, where marble was not used. The home-maker and his wife went around the globe searching for tapestries, rugs and carpets to furnish it. Paintings and statu ary from the famous collections of the old world were hauled up the hillside to adorn the interior. But what was round about was not forgotten. The chateaux of the Loire are famed for their landscape, gardens, with their walks, their fountains and their wealth of flowers, so a model of one of these miniature paradises was created out of a part of the mountain top overlooking a tum bling stream that has been cut ting a channel in the rock slope for recording centuries. Below the garden that man made, is anoth er th at nat u r e m ade , th rou gh the heart of which dashes this watery ribbon, so there are two gardens where flowers and shrub vie with each other charming the eye and the sense. Such is Biitmore House. You hear travelers speak of it as the finest country seat in America. Biitmore House and the 100,000 surrounding acres in the Vander bilt domain constitute the great est estate in America, and prob ably one of the greatest estates of modern creation. That is a big phrase, but only big phrases fit those hundred thousand Biitmore acres that rise and fall over mountains, that are covered by fifteen square "miles of virgin forest and two a Man or Boy Most Complete Stock Shown in Warrenton.

Broadway ' Magazine. The Woman Who Laughs. For a good, every-day house hold angel give us the woman who laughs. Her biscuit may not always be just right, and she may occasionally burn her bread and forget to replace dislocated buttons, but for solid comfort all day and every day she is a very paragon. Home is not a battle field, nor life one long unending row. The trick of always seeing the bright side or if the matter has no bright side, of shining up the dark one, it is a very im portant faculty; one of the things no woman should be without. We are not all born with the sun shine in our hearts, as the Irish prettily phase it, but we can cul tivate a cheerful sense of humor if we only try. Ex.
