SOUTHERN WAE CLAIMS.
There are now pending in Con
gress quite a number of claims
against the United States govern
men?, and the Republican newspapers
say that the Southern Democra's in-1
tend to pass these measures as an off
set to the pension appropriations.
One of these claimsis "to reimburse
the State of Louisiana for loss in the
ili3truction of the State Capi:al at
Baton Rouge, while in possession of
the military authorities in 1863."
"Others desire to be paid rent for land
which the government look posses
sion of, cut the wood and made crops,
and others arc for supplies and for
age which the soldiers compelled the
owners ot the land to furnish, These
claims are all now barred by the stat
tue of limitations, and it is proposed
to revise them so as the court of
claims may pass upon them. There
was quite a breezy debate in Con
gress upon one of these bills a few
da3 ago in which Mr. Holman and
Mr. Kilgorgc opposed all such ap-
propi iations. Mr. Dickerson, of
Kentucky, asked Mr, Holman aques
tiou which the great objector dodged.
It wa3 :
I wish to ask the gentlemen if he
knows of any rule that will enforce the
statute of limitations against widows
and orphans for supplies forcibly
taken to maintain the United States
army, and is still willing to pension
men who rendered services as long
ugoi?''
This was a "sarcher" sure enough,
"and no wonder the gentleman dodg
ed. Doubtless most of these claims
ought not to be allowed. Chronicle.
ONE MAN TOWER NOT WANT
ED. The Atlanta Constitution quotes
copiously from the letter of a Ten
nessean who is for Hill for President
The climax of the reasons that he
.gives for supporting the Senator is :
"From xuy knowledge of Senator
"Hill, if he is nominated he will not
-only succeed himself, but dictate, as
Ueneral Jackson ,dil, his successor
whom I feel certain will be a better
and a stronger man than Van Bur
e..." ?
Strange to say, this is the very
reason we are not primarily for Mr,
41 ill. We do not want a President
who will win by machine methods,
neither do we want a man to name
his successor. We prefer that the
5.400,000 Democrats in America
shall name the President in 1896 as
well as in 1S92. Wc have no fond
ness for the one man power in poh
t cs. It is not Democratic even
though the man who wie'ds the pow
is ns wise as Jefferson, as resolute as
Jackson, and as well equipped as
Calhoun Stute Chronicle.
A COMPLIMENTARY REPORT
The foilowing report shows that
Harnett county has a competent and
efficient Clerk :
Noath Carolina,
Harnett County.
The Honorable
Superior Court,
; Feb. Term. 9l.
Spier Whitaker,
Judge Presiding.
The undersigned Solicitor of the
4th Judicial District begs to report
to your Honor that he has at this
term of the Court examined into the
.condition of tho office of Geo. E
Price, Clerk of the Court of Harnett
county, that I find the said office well
administered in all respects, that
said Clerk is careful, painstaking,
efficient and accomodating in the ex
ecution of the duties of his ofii :e that
his papers aae properly filed and his
books neatly kept, that he keeps in
his offieo all the books- required by

Respectfully submitted.
Approved, Spier Whitaker, Judge
Presiding. Ed. W. X'ou, Solicitor
4th District.
A Kansas lawyer is now trying to
find out whether in that State a man
who murders his wife can inherit her
estate. A Kansas citizen, who is
serving a life sentence in prison for
wife murder, gave his law3'er a mort
gago on his wife's estate, but the ad.
roiuistrators refuse to pa7 the hill,
and he wants to know whether cut
ting his wife's life short operates as
cut off to the claim by the mu.derer.
Star.
It is said thit there are 1,600 or
1.700 lawyers in the city of Boston
while there is business for scarcely
200. But while the Boston bean holds
out there is not much danger of the
average Boston lawyer starving to
death,
HARD TliS.
This is a familiar expression with
many a roan, and often use the word 3
wil'bout realizing the force of tbera.
The merchants, the farmers, the
working man. the mechanics, and
every class are crying hard limes,
and we must admit thai these words
represent an almost situation of the
South to-day. Still if a man is even
with t!.e world, owes nothing, there
never was an easier age in which to
live, everything in the way of provis-;
ions is cheap, goods are low and a!
little money will reach a lo;g ways.
But how are are we to bring about a
change for better is the question ?
Well my idea is to reduce the acre
age in cotton, reduce the use of com
mercial fertilizers among the farmers
and increase the grain crops, diversi
fy the cnps, instead of planting just
corn, and cotton try some rice, some
tobacco, and trucking in some sec
tions of our county will pay, then if
a failure comes with one crop you
have something else that will strike
right. But there is a still more im
portant lesson for our people to learn
yet, especially our farmers, that is
working half the year and wasting
the other half in various ways that
adds no improvement to the farm
The average farmer does not work
more than six months of the year
and if he can live working that much
if he would stioK all the j'car why
could he not make something ahead.
The merchant who succeeds begins
at the fust of January, rises as the
morning dawns and when midnights
quiet hour comes he is often found at
his desk or shaping his goods. Look
at the professional men of the world,
should they start out and work only
two thirds of their time why, not one
of every thousand would succeed or
even make a living, but ihey give
their whole attention to their line of
business. If a M. D. to medicine; if
a lawyer, to law; if a preacher, to
preaching; if a school teacher, to
teaching; if a politician, to politics,
and so on. Just so must our farm
ers learn ifhey succeed in the busi
ness, Show me a farmer who buys
no guano, raises his own compost,
works ten months out of each 3ear
on his farm, and I will show you a
man who is clear of debt, got a good
form, good stock, and living com
paraiiva'y at his ease.
We hope the people will consult
their own interests this season, plant
less cotton, raise more home manure,
do -wore work, make less mortgages
and live on less, and the time will
soon dawn on this country when the
farmer can live on his own products
and within his own dominions.
WHO WILL IT BE?
That is the question. Referring
to Presidental posibilities, the fight
now being waged in New York would
seem to exclude both Hill and Cleve
land. The Hill sappers sprung their
mind prematurely when they called
the now famous midwinter Conven
tion, and as he has bean in the past,
and always will be, the dog in the
manger to Cleveland, and as there
is no gainsaying his power, and as it
would be folly to nominate Cleve
land in view of these facts, and as a
Presidental posibility he too must be
laid on the shelf. Flowers' silver re
cord handieaps him in the race. Then
if we are bound to have a New York
man to reign, sure'y in " so great a
State, a good man, sound on curren
cy and the tariff could be found that
would unite the factions and harmon
ize the differences in the State and at
the same time be acceptable to the
country at large. How about Whit
ney ? If a leader cannot be found in
the great, socalled pivotal State,
why, what's the matter with Russell
of Massachusetts? Or better still,
why not select a Western man. The
plucky Iowian twice elected Gover
nor of his State would lead the
Democratic boats to victory in the
coming great struggle.

A Wilkes county crank named
Crankfield, who died suddenly last

quest some time ago to bo buried in

company so long that he wouldn't
feel comfortable and at ease in good
