Many rejorl come back from

conditions tliey knew not of.
.Jo j Chandler Harris, the au
thor of "Uncle Remus." has
been promoted as editor-in-chief
of the Atlanta Constitution in
the place of the late Henry W.

On last Sabbath a terrific cy
clone, streUhiiiK all the way
from St. IiOiii.- to New York, left
death and destruction in its
track. A severe storm off the
Atlantic. Coast is also reported.
The weather Ilureuu predicts
cold weather. Ice is reported
in Lotii.-inna.
The (Jrand Lodge of Masons
is in session in Raleigh, N
C, this week. The Grand
Secretary reports the order in a
Nourishing condition. Fourteen
new bulges have been organized
during the year. J. M. Jlarsh

Lodge, of this place.
Does ihe aveiage negro pro
duce as much as he consumes ?
Nearly every farmer can answer
no- Then are we not the gain
ers by hi leaving? Airain we
have heard many white people
in this county complaining of
not having a.iy thing to do. They
will now have a better chance
On tho 10th instant the Wil
mington Star appeared accord
ing to previous announcement,
printed out and out with new
type. We congratulate our es
teemed coteraporary, the oldest
and one of tho sturdiest expo
nents of Democracy, upon its
enterprise and also upon its reat
and handsomest appearance in
its new dress.
Hon. Calvin S. Brice, chair
man of the National Democratic
Committee, has been nominated
by the Democratic caucus of the
Ohio Legislature for U. S.
Senator, to succeed Senator
Payne. This means an ele ction
as tho Democrats have a major
ity of six.
Latku. lhice has been elec

"Voices of Peace" is upou our
table. It is wdl edited and
neatly gotten up. We have read
with pleasure the articles on
"Tho County Fair," "Personal
Magnetism" and"Sequel to Ivan
hoe." "We notice that Miss Mag
gie Smith, pleasantly known to
many around Clinton, is one of
the local editors.
Judge William D. Kelley, of
Pennsylvania, known as Pie-
iron Kelly, died on the 9th ihst.
lie was the oldest member of
the House of Representatives
in years, and in continuous ser
vice, having been elected to fff
teen successive Congresses. Re
cently a cancer on the jaw, which
he had removed several years
ago, re-appeared and, probably,
shortened his life, but the im
mediate cause of his death was
intestinal catarrh of recent
origin.
General Greeley says that the
unprecedented warm weather
has been caused by a succession
of storms passing North of the
40 parallel from West to East,
causing an almost steady pass
age of air across the continent
from tho Gulf toward Canada
On thesa occasions during the
last three weeks hot air ballons
have been sent up from Clinton,
when the atmosphere seemed to
be perfectly still, but the bal
loons in each case floated to the
northward, which seems to bear
out Mr. Greeley in his hypothe
sis.

puts the situation aa follows:
"Iswachar is a strong ass
couching down between two
burdens: and he saw that rest
was good, and the land Hint it
was pleasant; and he bowed Lis
his shoulder to bear, and be
came a servant under tribute.'
"Ihe two burdens between
which these descendants of I
sachar are 'couchinc down' r
the products of cheaper Western
lands, with whieh they are
bi ought into competition, and
me taxes on everything they
buy so ingeniously collected
At A . .
ironi mem tiiai don't know
they are paying them. Tn the
nature of things the former
burden cannot be removed.
The competition must be met
by better husbandry and lower
prices of land. Remove the
other burden the taxes col
lected from the fanner for tho
benefit and support of other in
dustriesand th3 farmer will
be able to take care of hiin.elf.
Utilize the hours after dnrk
in useful reading.
The compost heaD is th bn-
ginning of prosperity.
The earth is the farmer's bank
of deposit.
Have nothing wasted on the
farm.
A stirring man keeDs his soil
stirred.
Pitch your crons now for th

It takes thirteen months work
each year to be a successful
farmer.
The best fertilizer on a farm
is good common sense, and re
member you can't buy this in
stinking bans at thirty dollars a
ton.
The farmers are moving on
the surplus. They ask that all
the surplus shall be lent out on
farm mortgages at two oer r.fint
interest. This is noL nractirn..
ble, but we are glad the matter
has been broached, and hope
that it will be agitatpd. U is
quite time th?t that money in
fluence Which has dominaM
and controled the financial af
fairs of the country should be
warned off, and the rights ot
the people should be consulted.
We have been paying larg bo
nus to bondholders for the priv
ilege of paying our bonds nearly
twenty years before maturity,
and they call that "financiering."
Out upon such rascally perform
ances! The people ought to
speak in thunder tones their
condemnation of such practices.

Kye as a Fertilizer.
iroi. isuaa, oi lowa, is re
ported to have said at one of the
recent conventions; "Even turn
ing under dry striw or anything
to make vegetable mould in the
son is or mere value than most
commercial fertilizets.'' An
Ohio man made the staUmnnt
that "one of the best and cheap
est fertilisers is rye ploughed
under as soon as the heads ap
pear.' He hod used it for a
number of years with best re
sults. Mr. May wood, of New
York, said he had repeatediy
brought up poor pieces of land
by sowing rye; and about June
first, or just before the heads
appeared turning it under; then
sowing corn and turning that
under. The next year he could
grow almost anything on that
land. Exchange.
