Inherited Blood Poison.
How many peopie there are whose dis
tress from sores, aches, pains and erup
tive tendencies are due to inherited blood
poison. Bad blood passes from parent
to child, and it therefore is the duty of
husbnnd au ' wile to keep their blood
pure. This is easily accomplished by a
timely use of B. B. B (Botanic Blood
Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co., At
lanta, for book of most convincing proof.

two sons were afflicted with blood poi
son, which doctors said was hereditary.
They both broke out in sores and erup

Deafness Can't Be Cared

an inflamed condition of the mucus

have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos

the inflammation' can be taken out

Topics of the Day.
Discussing with Judge I toy kin
the view of Judge Graves, con
cerning the small court docket,
as published In thisolumn last
wek, he waid that he found In
the majority of places that the
docket was nearly as large a9
ever. The condition in this
county was rather local. It was
true that certain legislative en
actments and decision! of State
Supreme Court had to some ex
tent narrowed the field of liti
gation, but that effect extended
to the whole State, and there
fore would not explain the condi
tion in this and other counties.
He believed that the Farmers'
Alliance, through its commit
tees on the Good of the Order,
had done much in this county to
lessen or rather to take litigation
out of the court. Resides he
thought the moarl tone of the
county was greatly improved.
We offer no opinion, foV these
jurists should know better than
we. However, we hope Judge
Boykin is correct.
Col. Roland, the able Repre
sentative of the 6th District,
has introduced a bill providing
for the collection of an income
tax, that suits our notion to a
dot. if it could be passed. Rut
there is no likelyhood of the
abandonment of the present
system of taxation and the res
toration of the income tax. Col.
Roland's proposition is to lay
taxes on incomes as follows :
"From five thousand to ten
thousand dollars, two per cent
um thereof ; from ten thousand
to twenty-five thousand dollars,
our per centum thereof ; from
twenty-five thousand dollars to
fifty thousand dollars, six per
centum thereof; from fitty thou
sand dollars to one hundred
houpand dollars, eight per cent
um thereof, and on all such in
comes amounting to over one
mndred thousand dollars, ten
per centum thereof.'
This would make the men
who have vastwrealth pay their
proportionate part of the taxes;
as it is now they pay but little
more than the average citizen,
out of their surplus abundance
tney snouid pay a greater pro
portion. News and Observer.
THE REAL
FOUNDATION
CHURCH.
OF THE
A. K. Fiske, in the March Fo
rum, says: Assailants oi the
churcr have contended that it
rests upon creeds aud dogmas as
its sole foundation, and that
when these are battered out it
must collapse. But are not the
iounaauons neeper ana more
solid, and as enduring as the
qualities and needs of humani
ty; and have not creeds and dog
mas been tbe embankments and
props accumulated for support
in ages of imperfect knowledge
and prevailing superstition?
May not the modern revelations
of science and reason show these
to be unnecessary, and by clear
ing away the debris of a dark
past leave the fabric of a reli
gion and a church firmly resting
on the original corner stone, but
with foundations broadened and
solidified so as to be unassaila
ble, and a superstructure in har
mony with the intellectual pro
gress of the race? in these later
times ?
There are two reasons why
some people don't mind their
own business. One is, that they
haven't any mind; the other,
that thev haven't any business.

WHAT lOi:S THIS 3I1SAX
The following is from the
commercial Bulletin a Republi
can protection organ published
in Boston, in a recent edition it
says.
Men whose hands have held
urotection's banners foremost
in the fray are solemnly warned
that their counsel of modera
tion is tearing the party asunder
and that their influence at
Washington is a thing of the
past. Is it? Are the lawyers
and politicians of the House of
Representatives t'te servants or
the masters of this- republic?
Even the most pessimistic of
writers on American policies
admits that the people have the
power of revolution, and the
test of the congressional elec
tions is not far away. That is
well. It is a source of genuine
satisfaction to hear the Bulletin
threatening "a revolution'' at
the pools, if the men at Wash
ington continue to play the roll
of ''masters" instead of recogniz
ing that ther are the servants of
the people. And it is all about
the tariff Protection seems to be

A few weeks ago a North Car
olina family, now residing near
Wilmington, were returning
from Oklahoma territory. While
seated on the cars the lady was
eagerly eyed by an old negro
woman, who occupied a seat just
opposite to her in the same car.
Nothing was said and but little
attention was paid to the old
woman, until when accidentally
the lady displayed one of her
feet, the old darkey grasped it
with visible joy, exclaiming,
"Dem's Nor'f Caliny feet; I
knows these women here haye
no sich little feet." She seem
ed perfectly happy when told
that she was correct - and that
the lady was then on her way
to Goldsboro. The old woman's
eyes filled with tears when the
time for separation came. She
hailed from Sampson county and
longed to get back to the big

IVTKKESTlNtj DISCISSIONS.
(Continued fromkust issue.)
Prof. Chamberlain told of in
stances where 20 to 3C per cent.
more corn was made from same
quantity of manure put on lands
in winter than when put or just
before planting. Manure should
be put on the land during the
winter and allowed to assimi
late with the soil. However
this does not apply to commer
cial fertilizers which are more
of a stimulant than anything
else.
grass us.
He urged the advantages of
sowing clover in connection with
raising stock.
Mr. J. M. Mew borne said Ger
man crimson clover sown in the
rough or burr will do well here
without any manuring or culti
vation. SILOS-ENSILAGE.
It was announced that Prof.
Chamberlain would speak about
ensilage and silos.
The speaker said the question
of silos ensila ge is closely re
lated to the manure question.
Ensilage, by enablln r to keep
more stock,makes more manure.
15 tons of corn the blade s,stalk
and all can be made per acre
and put in the silo at a cost of
GO cents per ton. After allow
ing loss from decay we have 27,-
000 pounds of food from one
acre enough to feed ten cows
two months. For cows it is bet
ter food than anything except
grass. One objection to this
great food is that it will turn
sour with a few days exposure,
but then so will beef ro in a
few days, yet we do not desist
from eating beef on that account
The speaker dwelt on the excel
lence and cheapness of eusilage
as a food for stock.
ROTATION OF CROPS.
Rev. J. T. Grubbs asked about
cotton culture. Prof. Chamber
lain said it is necessary to shade
land, and this is the reason rais
ing cotton on the same land year
after after impoverishes it. The
reason clover and peas sown
broadcast enriches land so is be
cause of shading tbe land as
well as filling it with vegetable
matter.
Mr. Harvey asked about sow
ing peas and following with cot
ton. Mr. Kennedy had sown
peus after oats and followed
peas with cotton aud made twice
as much cotton as usual.
It was stated that even if pea-
vines are cut off the land if left
in much better condition than
if pease had not been sown.
It was recommended that pea-
vines be plowed under after the
vines had dried and fallen down.
The great mass of green pea
vines put acids in the soil that
sometimes are detrimental, but
this is to a large extent obvia-
tee by putting on lime. It is
better to cut ana cure pea vines
and feed to cattle than to leave
on the land, as the feed is re
turned to the land in the shape
of manure from the cattle.
It was stated that Col. Holt
made over 45 bushels of wheat
to the acre on 80 acres without
any fertilizers, but that he only
sows on clover sod land.
Nitrate of soda broadcast on
top was said to be splendid for
oats.
Mr. H. A. Edwards said he
had the best results from ashes
by sowint' in shallow furrows.
SECOND DAY.
LEARXED TWO IMPORTANT THINGS.
Rev. C. W. Howard was re
quested to make a short talk,
and he made a very interesttag
one. He said we learned yester
day two importaut things 1st,
to utilize our labor; 2nd, in
order to make farming success
ful we must make our own ma
uure and learn how to care for
it. Our mistake is in not read
ing enough and learning from
the experiences of ether far
mers. It is characteristic of
ignorance to say we don't be
lieve what we can't understand
There will doubtless be some
things said today whick we will
not understand, but that is no
reason why we should refuse to
believe them. Some startling
statements were made yester
day about manure from cattle
being worth nearly as much as
the feed they consume. One
trouble with us is we don't prop
erly utilize our labor we
work hard enough but don't
manage right. .It takes only a
few unwise expenditures on our
farms to run us in debt. We
waste too much. One of the
great things for us to learn Is
to enquire if what we are about
to do will pay. Clover don't
pay in this sectionit co?ts
more to produce it than It hs
worth. He thought pets would
pay well and gave an experi
ment of his own. On five acres
of land with a little manure he
made a god growth and put
fattening . Logs on them; the
next year he put the five acres
in oats. This laud the follow
ing year produced 1,100 pounds
of seed cotton to tbe acre,
whereas it had never before
produced more than 700 pounds.
Tills gradual improvement,
thougli small, paysbymakiug
it cheaper to make meat. It is
better to make meat at home
no matter how cheap it can be
bought, because the pea vines
and roots and droppings from
the hogs are left to enrich the
soil. Hogs are lost from choler
because they are fed with
Western eorn. He made a suc
cess at raising hogs ottener
than he did raising cotton. An
effectual preventive of hog
cholera is a weak solution of
carbolic acid with water, about
a spoonful of acid in a bucket
of water; and calculate about
ten drops of acid to the 100
pounds of hog. The way. how
ever, he dosed his hogs with
the acid was to cook vegetables
from the garden and put in a
small quantity of the acid, well
mixed while cooking, calculat
ing about ten drops of acid to
100 pounds of meat. This did
not cure a hog that already had
cholera but he didn't have an
other hog to take the disease
after using it, and his hogs
thrived nicely.
Mr. Howard thought the
great advantage we ge: from
the Institute is that we will be
more ready to take advantage
of new ideas frc mother sources.
HOG CHOLERA AND CLOVER.
Prof. Chamberlain said hog
cholera cannot be cured after
the animal takes the disease
and agreed with Mr. Howard
that carbolic acid is one of the
best and the cheapest preven
tives there is. The Professor
aid not agree with Mr. Howard
in his conclusions that clover
would not pay m this section
and said that clover can be
raised on any good clay subs il.
Clover sod is worth as much to
the land as the hay taken off;
only costs $i,ou to $2 per acre
to sow; produces about $14
worth of hay. Clover enables
the farmer te keep stock, make
meat ana manure and enricli
his land. On sandy land clover
don't do well but on clay soil
or mixed clay soil it is a great
thing By turning hogs on
clover it costs very little to
raise meat, and the best sort of
mauure is made on the land
He thought clover if gradually
gotten into will prove the salva
tion of the farmer in this sec
tion.
Rev. J. T. Grubbs suggested
that each farmer try a small
plot of land iu clover.
Mr. H. A. Edwards want 3d to
know how much clover to sow
to the acre. Commissioner
Robinson said about 15 pounds
of red clover.
Mr. Levi Mewborne told of
his experience in failing to
make clover sown Feb. 1st. He
made good clover on a small
plot of well drained stiff bot
tom land, but always failed to
raise clover on light lands.
Prof. Chamberlain said if he
was going to plant clover here
he would plow in September,
then pulverize the soil very fine,
and sow down the seed, while
the wind was not blowing, then
lightly brush over with a light
harrow.
Commissi on ar Robinson thank
ed Mr. Howard for his practical
to-the-point talk, and remarked
that chemists tell us that clover
leaves to soils through leaves
and roots fertilizers equal in
value to the hav taken off. We
have yet to know of hogs hav
ing the cholera that are aise 1
on clover. A practical farmer
says crimson clover an annual
crop was worth 10 an acre to
the following cotton crop
Crimson clover sown in Auguat
soon as cotton is lad by an
swers fine for pasturage. One
farmer gathered 100 bushels of
crimscn clever seed from two
acres sown on cotton land with
out being plowed. Crimson
clover grows well on stubble
land, even among weeds and
grass.
Prof. Chamberlain suggested
that orchard grass and a few
oats be sown with the clover
Put land in peas, then turn
down after peas come off and
sow in the mixture of clover,
orchard grass and oats.
He also spoke of the way hog
cholera spread other than by
contact with other hogs. It is
carried about by rats or other
animals; frequently by buzzards.
Hogs that die from cholera
should not be thrown in the
woods or exposed, thereby
causing the disease to spread iu
this way, but should be buried
go that no animal can get to
them to spread the dheae.
THE AGE TO KILL HOGS.
He remarked about reading
of such heavy hogs in tho pa
pers and said while it may be
a roattter of pride to raise a
few very heavy hogs it is not
done at n profit, as there is a
limit at which auimals can be
grown at a profit. After getting
above a certain weight they
zrow slower in proportion to
the food consumed. Tho best
weight at which to sell pigs to
realize the highest price per
pound and the most liberal re
turns for food consumed is
from 150 to 200 pounds live
weight. Pigs will gain more
pounds for the food they con
sume up to 75 pounds than dur
ing any othey period of their
lives will yield more pounds
of pork to the pounds of food.
From 75 to 100 pounds it takes
10 per cent, more food to make
every pound of pork that is
100 pounds of food fed to pigs
under or at 75 pounds weight
will make as much weight in
pork as 110 pounds of food fed
to pigs weighing from 95 to 100
pounds. From 160 to 150
pouuds live weight, 17 per cent.
more food is required; while up
to 200 pounds live weight, 24 j
per cent more food is required.
to make every jiound of p.rk,
and from BOO to 300 pounds
live weigh, 30 per cen . more
food is required. So a man
keeping a hog until it weigh 300
pounds is paying almost one
sixth more to produce every
pound of pork than it costs be
tween 100 and 150 pouuds.
Pi of. Chamberlain again
urged the importance of silos.
The people seem to be afraid to
try ensilage, but there is no
trouble at all to make good
feed in this way. He thought
a silo could be built to hold 40
or 50 tons for not to exceed 40.
Only one gentleman, Mr. Win.
Kennedy, had said he intended
to build a silo; hoped others
would decide to build them. If
two or three farmers in a neigh
borhood would get " a cutte,
plant corn a week or so apart
(corn makes best ensilage every
thing considered) so as not to
conflict with each other they
could manage it very well. A
silo should certainly not be less
man io icet square; larger is
better; 1 2 feet square does very
well.
The Farmers and Ingalls.
A Topeka dispatch says; The
continued rapid growth of the
Fanners' Alliance in Kansas is
phenomenal. When asked yes
terday if members elected by
the Alliance would support Sen
ator Ingalls for re-election,
Judge Offer said:
"That depends entirely upon
the position taken by Mr. In
galls. The Alliance will not
support any man who does not
support any man who does not
agree with it. I sometime since
addressed a letter to Senator In
galls requesting his views on the
following questions:
First What legislation, if any
do you recommend by way of re
lief to farmers in the present
depressed condition of agricul
ture?
2nd. Do you favor an increase
in tne volume oi circulating
money? If so, to what extent;
in what way do you propose to
effect the change, and how get
the money in circulation ?
Third. In what respect, if at
all, and for what purpose do you
favir changing the national
banking law ?
Fourth. Do you favor free and
unlimited coinage of silver at
present weight and fineness?
Up to this date the reques
had not been complied with
My opinion is that Senator In-
and the farmers of Kousas can
not get together upon these im
portant questions.

the views too held by all horse
meu of enlarged experience in
stock breeding throughout the
wo Id.
The Horse Hot-Fly, or Gad
Fly iu laying iU eggs attaches
them to the hair of the horse,
usually on the forelegs and
breast, so as to te convenient to
the horse's mouth. The horse
licks the spot irritated by the
fly and thus gets the eggs into
his mouth. It is hate he 1 by
the heat and moisture, passes
down the gullet and attaches
self to the coit of tho stomach
by two small hooks on tho head
and there hangs for several
months, as j'et not having the
power to let go. This is one of
the stages it has to go through
to become a fly. When it has
maiureu u lets go and soon
passes out with the faces. It
ther hides itself iu the earth to
undergo another change, and
after six or seven weeks growth
mine pupaconjuion emerges
full fledged Gad-Fly, capable
of annoying many horses and
propagating its species indefi
nitely. Tho bot sucks liquid

No specific treatment is neces
sary, simply give a plenty of

bots cannot, while they inhabit

not be injurious to the horse.

They cannot be removed by
medicine, because they are not
n that part of the stomach to
which medicine is usually con
veyed; and if they were, their
are too deeply buned in the

due course of time, they will
detatch themselves and come

will let them alone.

DEMOCRAT.
Maj. McCIammv, of N rth
Carolina, said to a rejorter that
the steamship subsidy bill would
be passed because the Adminis
tration had endorsed the scheme,
but it would require a Republi
can caucus In bring out the full
strength of the majority in sup
port of the bill. "The Republi
cans," said the Major. "made all
kinds of pi onuses to the corpo
rations and trust combines in
order to raise money for Dud
ley's 'Blccks of Five' and now
they want to deliver the goods
by rushing through the House
Legislature in favor of trusts,
corporations and other monopo
lies. There is no class of legis
latioa that I know of mo;e vi
cious in its tendencies than th;U
of granting subs'. d es to corpor
ations. 16 undemocrvtic and
against the spirit cf a Republi
can form of Government, I will
fight the steamship saoaidy bill
to the best of my ability, but
then, when you take into con
sideration that the rules of the
House irive arbitrary powers to
the Speaker, you will readily
perceive that the Republicans
are in a bosition to pass any
measure or measures they may
pee fit to advance. It seems to
me that instead of the surplus
left in the Treasury by Cleve
land's Administration a deficit
will be staring the people in the
people in the face ere the end
of this Congress unless the Re
publicans change their policy,
and change it mighty quick."
