Not long ago a one horse far, uier from the back wo ds came to our town with two baits of cotton and sold it for five cents a pound. This was his entiie crop, and he was compiaining bitterly to one of our merchants and said that the farmers would perish to death in another year li there wasn't some change for the bet'er. A mischievous drummer, standing by, said: 'Well, my friend, ou must quit rsis ng cotton or else buy some monkeys to pick it out. Over in India and Egypt they make the monkeys pick their cotton, and that's what's the matter. A monkey will pic a thousand pounds a day and he feeds on the seed. So it costs hardly anything over there t raise cot ton, and our farmers in Missis, sippi and Texas have sent for a hundred thousand monkeys, and they will be over here in time to pick the next crop and the price will go lower still, and if you don't get a monkey or two, you had better quit raising cotton, for ou can't compete with monkeys." The old man took it all in seriously and said : Well, what is a poor farmer to do if he hasn't got the money to buy the monkeys?'' "Grow something else," said the drummer. "Grow corn and j wheat and sorghum and pota. j toes. Plaut apple and peach I trees, raise chickens and eggs, I and a yearlin calf or two to sell. Get up soon and stir around lively and make every member of your family work. Work at something, for if you don't you will perish out. Go home and take a new start. Don't sit down and giumble and blame somebody else for your poverty. Onit cotton until you can buy hall a dozen monkeys." The man went back home and circulated the monkey story, and for ten miles around the one horse fir mer have sworn off from raising any more cotton. That's what they tell me. They say that before the war the poor man couldn't compete with the rich man's nigger's, and now since he has lost his niggers he is buyin' monkeys to take their places, and the poor man wTont have any chance at all. Of course tiler.- is no truth in this story, but there is a good deal of philosophy. New uietlin ods, new plows and new ma chinery are the monkeys, and if the poor farmer does not work early and late he will keep poor. I know some country women who make more money on their chickens and !eggs and butter than their hus bands do On their cotton and . . . . , . , , WllCat. little tiling WeJ HUTS i ed count up more than big ones, 'idle thrifty tanner al ways brings with him something o sell when he comes to town. Some fowls, or eggs or potatoes or a shote or some fruit in its season. There is a good home market for all these little things. In tact, if we leave out cotton everything the farmer grows brings about the same old pri ces of ten years ago, and every thing he has to buy except cof fee is much cheaper now than it was then. Everything that is made of cotton is 50 per cent cheaper and everything that is made of iron or steel or tin is 100 oer cent cheaper. Beef and pork and chickens and turkeys and wood and potatoes and ap pies and peaches have not come down a niekle in ten years. La bor is a little cheaper, not much. We still pay the same lor cooking and washing and work iu the garden. If any body has a reason of complain iug of hard times it is the town people, who have everything ;o buy. The farmer who is not in debt and owns his farm is better off than he ever was and the prudent renter can pay rent and make money farming. But of course there is a large class of shiftless unthrifty peo ple who will not succeed at any thing, and they blame every body for it but themselves. Cobe says that the Lord had to make poor folks to keap rich folks in money, and so Cobe is content in being poor, for it is the Lord's will. I know folks who have never planted a fruit tree and who will not even plaut a gar den. Poverty makes some folks shifty and thers indifferent -nd despairing. There is an old negro woman comes to our house every Saturday and bring? us a gallon of big hominy old fashioned lye hominy, and it is a luxury. We pay her 15 cents for it and she has seven other customers. One peck of corn that costs her 10 cents makes four pecks of hominy, for which j she gets $1.20, and that make hr a good living. I read in the last "Home and Farm" about a successful ex periment in growing ginseng, and if I was a farmer I would try it. This was in Kentucky, where a man planted it in a wii shaded forest of beach and dog wood and gum trees, and it grew" both from the seed and the roots that he planted and gave him a good crop. Its market price is $4 a pound. I know that it could be grown in this mountainous region, among the foothills. I know a good farmer who makes money growing tur nips for their see-d, and he sells all his crop to Peter Henderson, of New Yotk, and Peter sells it back to us at 500 per cent pro j fit. Any smart, industrious wo j man could make money riedit I here by growing roses and hotJ house plants. Our people sen' oft lots of money lor such things and some of them are no account when they g' t here. Nobody around here has ever raised any asparagus to sell, but they buy it in Atlanta at 25 cents a bunch and bring it home, or they buy it canned from the grocer at 35 cents. A man in Marietta grows it by the acres for the Atlanta market and makes big money. Why not grow it here? Shifty is the right word we must be shifty it we wound keep up with tne pio gress of the times. Wit and wis dom are very noble equalities, but necessity is the mother of invention and contrivance. We must sr-t out of the old ruts and learu of our northern brethren. : c w iiiiaiiu 11 is ait uiuuuu the fire every night aud plait straw for hats and bonnets aud baskets and chair bottoms, and they have a good time talking about th ir nabors and nabor hood news. Why shouldeut our girls learn photography and have a gallery in every town? It is a beautiful art and peculiar ly fitted for women pretty young women who can talk their patrons into a pleasing ex pression anel can pose the little children and arrange the young man's necktie so 1 icely. If I wras a poor, smart, pretty girl and no man wanted me that I wanted, I would take some lessons in photography and open a shop. I thought that the girls were crowding the young men out of a good many places, for they are smart and quick and don't drink or smoke, and I am amazed and indignant to read that 200 ot them have been turned out of em ploy men. by a great railroad company in Chicago. I don't understand that. I hope Mrs. Lowe will investigate it. BILL ARP. Maria Teresa's Effects Sold. A special from Nassau, N. P., says: Materials taken from the wrecked cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa were sold at public auc tion on January 19. They did not bring as gooel prices as ex pected, few articles being suita ble as souvenirs. Most of the stuff sold was ship stores and or dinary materials. The two flags would have brought high prices, but the consul withdrew them from sale by orders from the Department at Washington. Frank Sherwood was down town today, the first time since he had his tussle with cholera morbus. He sas he drove thirty miles after he wras taken, and never came so near dying in his life. After this when he goes out in the country he will take a bottle ot Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarhoea Remedy with him. Missouri Valley (Iowa) Times.

DIED m THE FLAMES. TWO AGED LADIES PERISH IN THEIR BURNING HOME. Their Charred Skeletons Found In the Ruins Durham, N. C, Jan. 30-At an e irly hour this morning on ex-Register of Deeds W. H. Wood's place about four milts! from Out ham, Misses Nanc and Pollv Garden, two aped maiden ladies, were burned to I death in their home. A negro bv the name of Luke Risbee, while on his way to woik short- ly before sunrise, discovered the house to be on fir aud iiave the alarm. He went at once to the scene, and upon arriving there found the west end ot the roof falling in. It was impossible to enter the burning building on account of the flame and smoke. In the ashes of the burned dwelling were found two charred skeletons, those of the ladies mentioned above. One of these, which is supposed to be that of Miss Polly, was found at a point immediately between where t:vo beds stood. The other one, supposed to be that of Miss Nancy, was found at a point that would have been very near the middle oi the floor. The two ladies, who were 81 and 65 yeais of age re spectively, had lwed on Mr. Wood's place for about twenty years. Miss Nancy the oldest one, had been sick tor sometime. Both were in very reduced cir--cumstauces, and but for assist ance of friends, could not have kept soul and body together Noth ing is known as to how the fire originated If they had an eue in the world nobody knew Coroner T.

The bill as pass ed makes the capital stock of the Maiitime Canal Company one hundred millions; requires caudellation of stock outstand ing except that reserved for Nic aragua and Gosta Rica, and the discharge of all liabilites and contracts ; and provides that the Secretary of the Treasury sub scribe for $92,500,000 worth of stock ; that then the company be reorganized and the canal built within six years at a maxi mum cost of $1 1 5,000,000. The neutrality ot the canal is guars anteed, and if the necessary con cessions are not obtained, the President may negotiate for other canals or tor abrogation or modification of the Clayton-Bui wer treaty.

It is both a d triment disgrace to the State of and a North Carolina that a reformatory for youthful criminals has not been established before this. What is best to do with that class of our youth who by ev;l tendencies or evil associations are growing up as criminals is a question on which all who have studied the matter are not agreed, but we find them all of one mind i 1 one thing, and that is that a hideous wrong is com mitted when young men are locked up in the same prison and forced to mix with men who have been criminal all their lives. It is to be hoped that some wise and beneficieut legislation will be at once enacied by the General Assembly. By all means do what you can you gentlemen who are now making our laws, to help those, 1 although fallen may yet be saved Rocky Mount Argonaut. Mr. S. A. Fackler, Editor of the Micanopy (Via.)

Holmes has drawn and presented to the Legislature a road bill which is attracting considerable attention. It allows the tax to be increased ; requires all between 18 and 45 to work 5 days or pay $2 ; allows a county road superintendent under $2,000 bond to be paid not ovei $50 a month; allows one or more town ship road supervisors ; provides that the county furnish tools, Gne other provision of the bill is note worthy : whenever the force of road hands number less than ten, the county may alter nate with a neighboring county. The Oyster Law. Mr. Williams, of Dare, has in troduced a bill to repeal the oys ter law aud abolish the office cf chief inspector, aud also for a bill to provide for a shell fish commission composed of five members, to be elected by the General Assembly from the oys ter counties, with power to Dy off the oyster grounds in five districts. It allows dredging, but provides that it cannot be done within two miles of the mainland. If this bill passes it will increase the revenue of the state $3,000 per year, says Mr. Williams. A Fleshy Consumptive Did you ever see one ? Did you ever hear of one ? Most certainly not. Con sumption is a disease that invariably causes loss of flesh. If you are light in weight, even if your cough is only a slight one, you should certainly take Scott's EnuslioB of cod liver oil 'with hypo phosphites No remedy is such a perfect prevent ive to consumption. Just the moment your throat begins to weaken and you find you are losing flesh, you should begin to take it. And no other remedy has cured so many cases of consumption. Unless you are far advanced with this disease, Scott's Emul sion will hold every in ducement to you for a perfect cure. All Druggista, roc. and $i. Scott & Bqwnz, Chem:st&, X. Y.

WILMINGTON AROUSED. The pulse of feeling in Wil mington again b.:ats quick and hot with the fever of excite1 ment. The bill introduced by tils Hou. George Rountree, the member of the House of that city, amendment the Citv Char ter, was the cause of the out burst of feeling as manifested in the mass meeting of citizens held on the 17th inst. A dis patch says ' The spacious Court " 3 a 1 room was crowded to suffocation with Wilmington's representa tive citizens, who gathered to take action in regard to the new charter intro luced in the General Assembly a lew days ago Ly Representative Rountree The amended charter embraced in Mr. Rountree' bill was draft ed by a committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce, and while expressing the views of two hundred business men it has not met the approval of the balance of the citizens. Mrs. W. E. Springer presided at the meeting Stirring speeches were made by several prominent men. A set of resolutions was diawn up and adopted, protesting against Mr Rountree's bill ami setting forth as the sense of the meeting that the people should vote lor their cnoice for mayor, chief of police, city clerk and chief of fire department as the primaries, aud expressing strong disappoval of the police comv mission provided by Mr. Roun tree's bill. The resolutions set forth also that the citizens must in future govern this city, and not ring politicians. On motion, a commitee of ten citizens two from each of the five ward was appointed to draft a charter along the line of the resolutions, which will be submitted to the citizens 111 mass meeting, and alter approval be forwarded to Raleigh for intro duction in the General Assera bly. "The meeting was an enthus iastic and harmonions gather ing, and displayed plainly the intention of the citizens gener ally to have good government. There has been considerable feeling for some time against the Chamber of Commerce for having the amendment charter introduced in the Assembly before submiting it to the citizens." FROM MOYOCK.
