Of the bills all were of a private or local nature. Of the petitions one was presented by Mr. McLean from citizens of Harnett county to prevent the manufacture and sale of spirituous liquors within three miles of Morris' Chapel church. Print it in Big Letters. Hon. Dan Hugh McLean the able representative for Harnett in the House, in speaking of a measure to establish separate cars the races before the joint committee on Railroads, used the following language, alike honest and honorable : "The day has' passed when demagogues can thrive upon as saults upon any class prejudice or cupidity." This sentence ought to be printed in big, bold typejj' and posted on the doors of each house,, and on the walls thereof,, as a warning to those who would invade these sanctuaries of the people with their schemes conceived in malice and intend ed to authorize and 'encourage the robbery of any class of our citizens. It might be . varied and epitomized, by simply say ing "No Butlerism Here," Mr. McLean is of that type of North Carolinian which gave both character and dignity " to the legislation of the past, which won for the State and her peo ple the confidence and respect of all mankind. The latter day demagogues who live by and upon prejudice, by assaults upon the rights of particular interests, by deception, malice and plunder, have seen their last days among this good peo rde, it is hoped, forever. This legislature,- the result of the upheaval of the honest people in resistance to the unholy or ganizations and combinations and dishonesty which had well nigh engulfed them, who re sented the well-laid scheme of enemies within and without to fasten Butlerism and all it im plies upon them, will prove ful ly equal to the trust confided to them, and will regulate the demeagogues to the rear. Honest democracy and its every pledge will be carried out by its representatives : and so long as it is along the lines sug gested by the able representa tive froin Harnett, and to this date it has been done, so long will the people continue it in power and so long will the old i State prosper.

As the cultivation of tobacco in this county is comparatively a new industry, and knowing that it is very essential to be gin right, I will offer the fol lowing to all who need instruc tion, hoping thereby to be of assistance to some. On the selection of a proper locality for a plant bed, and its preparation largely depends the timely supply of strong, healthy plants, without which it is impossible to raise a crop of fine grade. The planter, therefore, cannot be too careful in choos ing a sheltered spot, neither too wet nor too dry, as rich natural ly as can be found, and located so as to possess different de grees of moisture. Go in the woods, original forest if possi ble, and select a place near a branch or stream of water, em bracing both hill side and flat, and having a southern or south western exposure, protected by woods on the north. Burn over the plat by placing small skids three or four feet apart,, then '. t n i .1 cover with orush and on tne brush place a sufficient quanti ty of wood so as to burn the land brown one-half inch deep. With hoops or old hoes fastened to long poles pull the burning mass of brands a distance of four or five feet, throw on brush and wood and continue burning and moving the fire until the bed is as large as wanted. Nev er burn when the land is wet. It will require froni one and a half to two hours to cook the soil properly. Or better, still, rake over nicely the plat to be burned, then place down poles from two to four inches in di ameter, three or four feet apart, over the entire surface to be burned, then place brush thick ly over the plat and weight down with wood, over which throw leaves, trash or other combustible material. Over this sprinkle kerosene oil and set the whole on fire and burn at one operation. But any mode of burning will suffice provided it is effectually done. After the plat has been burn ed and has cooled, rake off the arge coals and brands, but let the ashes remain, as they are j essentially a nrst-class manure. y Then caller over the bed or break with grub-hoes and make fine the soil by repeating chop ping and raking, observing not to bring the subsoil to the sur- ace, and remove all roots and stumps. Manure from the stable, hog pen or poultry house or some enable fertilizer should be chop ped into and thoroughly incor porated with the soil while pre paring the bed to be sown. Ex perience has taught that it is better to use both manure and fertilizer. Having thus prepared the ped sow at the rate of a heap- tablespoonful of seed to everv iuu square yarus. 11 is petter to sow a little too thick than too thin. The best way o sow the seed is to mix them with dry ashes or fertilizer, and sow over tne nea one way aim i i i i then turn and sow cross, so as to get the seed regular. In late years it seems almost impossible to raise plants with out the u.-e of canvass. So, to be on the safe s'uh1, it will be well to get' tho canvass and cov er Lei a.-, soon as you have sown it. Don't leave bed until it lias been ditched so as to keep all surface water, for tobacco plants will not grow if the bed sobs. J Having thus prepared the bed and sown with good seed the most important step to- wards a good crop ot tooaco is finished. We copy the above from the Smithfield "Herald of last week which was written by Mr. T. S. Ragsdale, of the Banner Ware house of that town. He is an experienced man in the cultiva tion of tobacco, and we copy it - tl henefit of our readers who may plant year. Editor. tobacco this (Tb8 Kind Yoa Haw Afwars Bocgtt ; Bishop Hood Objects to the "Jim CrowCar. " The following letter from Bishop Hood, a negro, was 8 read before the joint committee on railroads in the Senate last Wednesday. The Bishop evi dently feels himself far above his race, and seriously objects to the Jim Crow Car. The bishop said ho never went South of North Carolina because of tho Jim Crow cars. It was humiliating to refined colored people to have to bo re fused admission among the bet ter class of white people That negroes whom they were thrown were often offensive in person and manner towards well con ducted, well dressed members of their race. . That he had gono over 400 miles out of his way on more than two occasion to escape riding with the negroes. That once on coming from Knoxvillo ho was made sick by riding on a Jim Crow car and when he reached JPaint Rock in North Carolina and struck tho South ern Road it was like coming from torment into a heavenly atmosphere. He said if tho law was passed he was afraid ho would have to move out of North Carolina. He concluded his letter, "Yours with hopo of escape." Mr. F. II. Busbee next ad dressed the committee. Ho said he felt satisfied that this Legislature would do right. That it would enact a law that would be as little burden of ex pense as possible, so the object of its passage was accomplished. Referring to Bishop Hood's letter hesaid tho desire for sep arate cars had grown up and was inherited by the white peo ple on account of just such de termination on the part of no gro bishops, negro colonels, ne gro Congressmen to flaunt them selves as equals, socially, with white people. That no ono ob jected to a servant riding in a buggy with him or a nurse or servant in a car, becauso they occupied their right places as servants and behaved them selves. "But the disposition or determination of a certain class of negroes. iojassert their equali ty had disposed the white peo ple to put a stop to it. The bishop that rides 100. miles out of his way td escape riding with his own race is a strong example .of their ap preciation of this companion ship and this determination.
