. .A NEEDED REFORM.
. Darin th cut vetf there have
3 X
mq a god By e tried here by.
or justices of tire pesce. Some of
them were important while many were
f minor importance and lome- frivo
lous. . Ia aU. thesj cases we know of
tione bat wist was disposed of fairly
nd with justice to. rtfo parties con-,
vernad. What we wish to speak of is
the manner ia which the justices have
allowted th-em to be conducted.
When in action is brought before
justice of the peace it ia due the
parties cosceraed to have due notice
.according to taw and then have the
case disposed of as epeeeily as possible
to prevent cost being piled up on the
party or parties against whom the ac
tion may fait. "Ve have noticed that
in nearly every aetion brought before
justice that attorneys are employed
nd it is not an anfrrquent thing to
ee two attorneys for each side appear
in an -action of minor importance. In
many; of these actions we notice that
the justioes allow them to be contin
ued. from day to uay under the small
est pretext of one side of the other,
thereby increasing costs in the action
4er an action being tried by any jus
tioe here at one sitting one side or
the other not being read v for trial.
. It is not the province of justices of
at it not reaay ana prepnren io ueieuu
.the action; but it is their- province
-Imnd duty tt preside! with justice to
eaeh party aud try the motion as
promptly as in their; power lies and
not allew the oosts unncoessarily in
creased by continuing the aotton on a
saere technicality and to suit the con
venience of the attorneys employed in
the notion. ;
We have known some actions
brought which could have been , dis
posed, of in thirty minutes, and j as tic's
caeted to eaoh prty, yet apon mere
technicalities the actions were oon
tinned as many as three s times and
ccctfaied the time of' ; the - court for
fcalf a day mt $ time, when the justioe
ooujd readily have disposed of the
4aso at one sitting. Attorney" have
righte before a court that must be re
spected, but a justioe should have
decision enough not to entertain mo
"tiow made by them unless there be
ufotent reason for same and continue
the case only when justioe to the par
tics eonsernid demand it. We ere of
the ooinion that our iustiees of the
peace could bring about a . reform in
these mutter a.
Tqk Inland of Crete is up in arms
gainst the Sultan of Turkey to which
government the' island ' belongs, and
Greece is aiding the insurgents. It
is probcble that the Sultan will de
clare war against Greece at once. It
is said thaty there ra a plan on foot
between the powers to- destroy the
government of Turkey ind divide the
territory. In this case Greece would
annex Crete; Husia would 'take Ar
menia; France, Syria and England,
Egypt. ' The Sultan's course as. to
Christians in Armenia, where he has
allowed them to be butchered by his
own troops, is taken for an excuse to.
wipe bis government off the face of
the globe. In Crete! where the pop
'ulatioa is generally Christians, the
uprising against the Sultan has been
most pronounced. Greece seems to
be determined to help the Cretans if
the other powers do not.

THE FESTIVE: PEANUT,
Everyone eas pear-uts and ctxcely
anyone knows anything about them.
The peanut erop is one of the most
profitable of the South. The yearly
production of peanuts in thU country
is afiout 4,0.00,000 bushels of .twen y
two pounds each, the bulk of the crop
being, produced in Virginia, Georgia,
lenotesee an d Noith' Carolina. These
4.000 000 bushels constitute tu: a
small proportion of the peanut, crop of
the world, as the exportation from
Afiica and Jodia to Europe in 1892
-mounted to nearly 400,000.000
pounds, half of which went to Mar
seilles to be made into oil.
The largest amount of the American
crop is sold by street venders; but
quantities are used by confectionars,
chocolate manufacturers and oil- mak-
ers. rcanut on is U3ea ior iuuriui
ing and for soap, and is a good ub
stitute for olive oil, lard, ' cottolene
and butter. The residue from oil
making ji known aa "peanut cake" in
Europe is highly valued as "a cattle
fodder and is also ground into fine
flour and used as human food.
The Virginia j running, variety of
peanut is the typical Amerioan peanut.
Its vines are large, with spreading
branches, growing flat on the ground
and bearing pods over their entire
length. The pods are large and
white. There are many other varie
ties' grown. in the other States, some
of them being upright bushes instead
of vines.
The. peanut is sorted in the, factory
into four grades, the first three being
sold to venders, and the fourth sold to,
confectioners for making "burnt al
mond" and cheap candies. The 10,
000,000 worth of peanuts America
uses axe not; counted in the staplo food,
but are eaten at all intervals as a lux
ury. -The peanut is used by the
planter as" a fattener for his hogs.
In thr pld world millions of bush
els are made into oil, in which the
nuts are very rich, 30 or 40 per cent
of the shelled nut being oil. It 'has
an agreeable tasto and is more limpid
than olive oil, but does not give a
very brilliant , flame. The peanut
cake left after the oil is extracted is
sold for 30 a ton in . Germany and
fed to the battle and sheep: Experi
ments were made in Germany on ao
army biscuit, to be made from peanut
flour, but they were not successful
though the fljur is: most nourishing

The leg'slature turned Swinson,
the populist enrolling -clerk, out of
the office, or at least the bill passed
both bxtanob.es of ;the legislature; but
Swingoasays the legislature did not
have the power to turn' him out only
for incompetency or failure to per
form the1 duties of the enrolling clerk
and to do this it Would have to im
peach him. Swinson holds on to the
offioe and has not turned over the
papers in his possession. The whole
of the row was caused because Swin-
son would not appoint two negro
clerks that he did not need. Yet pop
ulist members voted to turn him out.
It seems that the populist members
love the negro as dearly as the repub
lioans. Every populist in the House
voted for a negro for assistant door
keeper against a one-legged confeder
ate soldier. Dc the men who wore
the gray want the negro put in ascen
dancy Over them? Take a peep in on
this legislature and see the tendency
of things -a negro in. the State Senate
demanding to be recognized as the
leader of his party. Toe time is com

' The lease of the North Carolina
railroad from Goldsboro to Charlotte
to ihe Southern Railroad Company for
99 years will probably he repealed by
this leg'slature. Governor Russell
has-sent a message to the legislature
advising a repeal of the lease. If it
is repealed the road will probably be
leased to the highest bidder. The
Seaboard Air Ljfae has offered to lease
. - . - .
the road and pay $400,000 per year
rent. This amount is 120,000 more
than the Southern promises to pay in
the 99 year lease.- The proper thing to
do, it seems to ns, is for the S'ate to
sell the road if it can get a good price
for it. The road cost $4,000,000 and
$2,700,000 remain unpaid by the
state and the state is paying interest
at four per cent, on these bonds
$103,000 annually. - Sell the Toad

A DIVIDED TOWN.
A subscriber to the Patron and
Gleaner writes of Grifton, N.C, es
follows: :
The town of Grifton is way down in
Pitt, county, in fact so far down -in
Pitt, that about half of it is in Lenidr
County.. It is also on both sides of
Contentnea Creek; it, is in" the first
and second Congressional districts; is
in the third and sixth Judicial districts
and in two Senatoral districts, and in
tvp Senatoral districts and is ia three
townships. We have three tax collec
tors after us sometimes, and one for
the town, who is with us all the time.
We have about 800 inhabitants,
over half white. Ia our State ard
county elections, we have three vo -
iog places, and to complete the circuit
a man would have to travel forty-five
miles. Being so much divided, it is
very much like a Western town. Wo
have three bars each one in a differ
ent township, all in speaking distance.
Our mayor is kept busy, when ; the
boys are on a lark. 1
ALASKA GOLD 'PRODUCTION.
America's new. territory is about
taking the sceptre from the Jpld as a
gold bearing territory. Ia 1867 the
United States .acquired Alaska, an
areijof 580,000 square miles,, paying
Russia for 'it $7,200,000, and public
opinion at the time was that they had
made a bad bargain: It has proved,
indeed, a very ejoellent one. The
mooey has' been gotten back already
in the lumber and the seal and other
fisheries of Alaska, and fhat great
momain, rnuoh of it is almost trackless.
has developed into a great gold-producing
region. Its output of gold in
1895 was $3,000,000; it will not e
less than $5,000,000; this year," and
$12,000,000 is its estimated yield for
1897 The mining interest is aotive
and 11,000 were added to the popu
lation of the. country last year Ex.

Murray, the negro congressman
from South Carolina, introduced a
resolution in the House of Represen
tatives to throw out the electoral vote
of that state on the ground that the vote
was not an expression of the will of
the people of that 6tate; that large
numbers of voters had been debarred
from voting- and that; a republican
form of government does not exist in
that state. The resolution provider
for the appointment of a committee to
investigate the elections in that State.
In South Carolina the laws have been
so framed that it is not possible for
ignorance to rule, and as the negroes
are the most ignorant class they think
it Js a ' thrust at them.: Evidently
South Carolinians believe in white
supremacy. Wo would ibe glad to
see more of the same spirit expressed
