Gov. Fowle attended the fu
neral of Jefferson Davis at New
Orleans, where he served as one
of the pall-bearers. His speech
at the memorial meeting is said
to have been one of the best de
livered on that occasion. He
was called out a second time by
the audience.
The President of the National
Alliance is compelled to reside
in Washington City. His sala

Polk, the President-elect, will,
therefore, be compelled to be
absent from North Carolina a
considerable part of his time
while he holds that office.
The witty Wilmington Star

one of its latest :
'The Philadelphia times remarks

Governor J,et was followed
by Governor Fowle, who made
abundant amends for the omiss

that the honor of the State do-niandf-d
that ample provision
be made for their comfort.

and boom the New Berne Fair

cess. Let us hear the blast of
his tiuinpe rallying the people.

Xot War.
Gov. Lee, in his speech at
Clinton, said that it was not
contemplated by the Confeder
ate commander that the attack
on the third day at Gettysburg
should be made as it was made.
It was expected that Longstreet
would attack with his whole
corjs. The charge of Pickett
and Pettigrew was a splendid
and awful exhibition of bravery,
but it was not war. New Berne

A Pronounced Success.
The Sampson County Fair
was a pronounced success. It
was opened Wednesday by Col.
E. D. Hall, of Wilmington.Gov.
Fowle having failed to arrive in
time. On Thursday Gov. Fitz
hugh Lee, of Virginia delivered
an elegant speech and was fol
lowed by Gov, Fowle. This be
ing veteran's day, there was a
large turnout of the old vct
rans. On Friday Hon. W. H.
Kitchen delivered one of his
inimitible speeches. The dis
play of farm products, live
stock, poultry, etc., was very
good uideed, and reflects much
credit upon the county. The
officers are to be congratulated
on having worked up so good a
fair in such a short time. Bur

The Clinton Fair.
The Clinton fair held 'ast
week, after only six weeks pre-
crowds in attendance, good ex
hibits and good speeches by
distinguised men made the fair
a big success.
Gov. Fitzhugh Lee, of Va ,
was there Thursday, and was
welcomed by Governor Fowle,
in a fitting speech. Gcv. Lee
made a rattling erood speech.
The Wilmington Light Infan
try invited Gov. Lee to stop a
few hours in Wilmington on his
return home from the fair. He
did so and was given a grand
reception by the people of Wil
mington, and was handsomely
entertained.
The Caucasian issued a very
creditable daily edition during
the fair. Kinston Free Press.

While Gen. Grant lay dying
at Mt. McGregor Jefferson Da
vis was asked, by a correspond
ent of the Boston Globe, to write
a criticism on the military ca
reer of the dying Union chief
tain. His reply was as follows:
"Dear Sir : Your request on be
half of the Boston Globe for me to
prepare a criticism on Oen'l Grant's
military career cannot be complied
with, for the following reasons:
First, Gen. Grant is dying; second,
though he invaded our country with
a ruthless hand it was with open
hand, and as far as I know, he abet
ted neither arson nor pillage and has.
since the war, I believe, shown no
malignity to Confederates, either of
me military or civil service. There
fore, instead of seeking to disturb
the quiet of his closing hours, I
would if it wero in my power, con
tribute to the peace of his mind an 1
comfort of his body."
These words aie characteristic
of the noble and God-like man
who penned them free from
malice, free from hatred, and
forgiving full of christian cha
rity, so rare under the sun.

TO THOSE WHO TILL
THE SOIL.
"There U no material progres tbut Is well
biiM'd and permanent without agricultural
progress.'
Nearly every diy we are hear
ing or reading of strikes of the
refusal of various classes of
men to work longer becanse
they did not receive fair and
just compensation and returns
for their labor. The farmers
are the most aggrieved class in
the United States to day. Sup
pose they were to strike? Sup
pose they were to refuse to till
the vast acres to feed and clothe
the universe, except sufficient
for themselves and their imme
diate families, make their
home supplies and refuse to
sell (or rather gve away any
thing), what would be the re
sult? In a few months this
world would wake up and be on
its bended knees swearing jus
tice and fairpUy to the farm
er, who feeds and clothes them
all.
Bulletin Xo. 66, of oui Agri
cultural Expeiiment Station is,
to our mind, a very valuable
paper. It deals with Stock
Feeding, and with Indian Com
as a Mirth Carolina product. Dr.
Ea? tie suggests that five pounds
of corn and four and a half
pounds of cotton seed meal will
make a better ration for a horse
than twenty pounds of corn,
and will cost 18 cents a day less.
He asks, however, for the ex-
tx iiiin lioro I V-
ter. Fodder Is in general use.
and yet fodder is the most ex
pensive food we can supply to
our f tock. Like cotton picking,
pulling fodder luns the cost up
very high. Grasses would an
swee a much better purpose.
The article by Prof. Gerald Mc
Carthy, on Indian Corn, is also
valuable.
In the year 1887 North Caro
lina had in Indian corn about
2,773,900 acres, being about one
third the entire cultivatad area
of the State. This area produc
ed 35, 830 bushels of corn,worth
in the market $21,139,000, being
a "larger acreage and larger yield
per acre than any State on the
South Atlantic or Gulf coast,
except Texas. In the same year
the total value of our cotton
crop was about $18,000,000 ; so
corn is still king in North Caro
lina. In 1888 the value of the
corn crop was about one-seventh
larger than in 1887. The aver
age yield of corn per acre for
thu whole United States is over
24 bushels. For North Caroli
na the average is over 12 bush
el?, and is higher than the aver
age of any other Stats on the
South Atlantic or Gulf coast.
The average is, however, much
I a A . . -a
jess man it neea De. ana witn a
reasonable auv. unt of care in
selecting seed, judicious fertil
izing and a good cultivation, the
State average could be easily
and profitably doubled.
"Mr. Wm. Crozier, the model
farmer of Long Island, New
Yorls, on land naturally poorer
than the average of good corn
land in this State, ha3 raised as
high as 207 bushels of shelled
corn to the acre." For ourselves,
we think 100 bushels a great
amount to raise on an acre.
