Buck" bad to explain and say a word on the bill, amonjr other thing be 'said: "I introduced the bill, and found out hat I wanted to know. I found the majority of the member of the Committee on the Judiciary belong to Old eon Band, and not only that, but the biggest heap of the so-ealled Dercoerats of thU House are mem bers." Notwithstanding this speeeh of Capt. Kitchen the introducer of the bill, it passed. Every People's party member and every Republi can voting for it. This took some of the members by who buys the best material she can sarprise and the News and Observer afford, and would srood. serviceable one two the If not Mt Abuline Ho- l'unn-r. It h strange to us that fio many "gifted writers and a .cat men," at lea.st in their own estimation, make so many attacks uj.n the farmers. Would that they could get through some day and not always be kicking against the farmers. The farmers are not the "driving wheel," but he is the "wheel driver." He does not make the law?, but he labors for him self and those who do make the laws and they could not get along with out him. So away with this non sense, and if you think it bo easy and pleasant to farm, "go to work," put yourself in their place and show them how to live by "your great farming," which seems to be so much like doing nothing. What the farm ers need is not advice all the time and abuse because they do not do any better, but they need somebody to take hold and help them up, not tear them down.

Yould it be the wonders of "Why Mn ltn 11 Htl In- So Well. We have heard wonder expressed that fat sheep have enjoyed so good an average market for so long a term of rears as compared with other stock, and a season in which mutton making is not profitable is a rare ex ception'. AYe think a leading reason for this is that a very large propor tion of the sheep going into consump tion are marketed quite young. There are no data available to show what proportion go to the block at the age of one year or under; but it i3 a very large proportion, and one that is con stantly increasing. A great perceu t age of the increase of ilocks from year to year is thuscut off from producing further increase, and goes at once - into the food supplies of the country. There is occasionally something of an increase of tlocjc totals one year as compared with another, but this iucrease does not keep pace with the growth of population. Another in tlnenc probably affecting this some what is, that Americans have never been great consumers of mutton, the appetite for this meat has steadily grown since the tendency has been developed to market stock so young, Lamb is very largely preferred to mutton, and lamb has become a sta pie market ai ticle in many places where the flesh of sheep was hardly an item of consequence in market a half generation ago. For the rea sons stated we have no uneasiness on the score of mutton production continuing to be reasonably prodr.c tive for years to come. Nationa Stockman. DogM ami Shei. In twenty years I have not had 10 sheep killed by dogs, though dogs, mostly hounds,run through my wood land reserve, hunting foxes, coons and hares habitually. They save mv lambs from the foxes. ," Before I used bells, about one to three or five sheep, I had a whole flock nearly killed, and my neigh- . bora have raids by dogs repeatedly, resulting in creat loss, in spite of guns and poison. My bells are 0 copper, between the size of smal sheep bells and the old style cow bells of range times. They are pu on with strong leather collars, and these are greased several times a year. The natural law of self defence sends the sheep together at the first alarm, where they stand in defense. The sheep killing dogs go m gangs and lonsr distances. They are old sinners ffenerallv. and have often "been shot at When they hear the great and concerted clatter of the bells they - take to their heels, no doubt taking the sounds for fire arms, r :- . - -a : e Those that nave been Killed were Bingle sheep, and eaten by single "dogs of the neighborhood, who learn ed the difference betweeu a gun and ahell.

A subscriber writes us asking for a substitute for wood ashes m mak ins: a compost from woods mould and leaves, We would advise either kanite or muriate of potash, Kanit will analize about 12 percent., pot ash, while muriate of potash will give about 50 per cent, potash. The addition to the mass of some acid phosphate, or floats, will materially improve it as food for plants. The phosphoric acid in acid phosphate is more quickly available; but if the heap is mixed some considerable time before being wanted, the floats will -be equally valuable and more enduring.

Beyond the farther mouth of the tunnel, which was cut through a small hill. the railroad branched into two lines, he one turning south into a valley, and the other immediately crossing a oug trestle, visible from the watch house and then skirting the opposite mountain side toward the east Tbe unction was known as the Fox Tunnel Y, the southern line was called the Valley Fork, and the east ern the Trestle Fork. For a full minute after . she had crossed the track she did not utter -at --"- - - - anotner sound. ne stood as one transfixed. Then all at once she sprang forward and looked again "Yes, the trestle has slid!" she gasped, i 1 a . . a turning wnite as a sheet, 4,and tne trains are both due here in the next 10 minutes the southern express first and then the eastern and both coming this way through the tunnel! iter knees trembled, and she shook like a leaf. T i mi . -l Knowi xne southern express comes fi rat! I'll stop it just as soon as it geta through to this side of the tunnel, and it can run back then and warn the eastern express of the dan ger! i$ut suppose the first train should be late! They are never more than five minutes apart! one wrung ner nan as again and again, striving in vain to solve the awful problem.- She returned to the watchhouse and looked at the clock, "l here is no more tinw to waste! There is but one way I must try to get through the tunnel before the hrst tram comes. If it overtakes me while I am in there but I can ge into one of the manholes. Something must ne aonei ' She heard a faint whistle far away down the Valley Fork, which strengthened her resolution to act CT - 1 1 . ii i one rusneu into tne bouse, got out the danger flag and the next moment had disappeared into the mouth the dark damp hole. The sudden chilliness, seemed to cool her heated brain, and she grew more composed auu stronger, one new along over the ties as fast as;! her nimble feet would carry her, .but her swiftes movement appeared hardly equal to a snail's pace now. On, on she sped into the darkness, with the lie-ht f mm the farther end streaming into , her eyes. At first all was still, save the ecno ot ner own f ootstens. but. when she had crossed half the distance she heard a low, ominous rambling whose meaning she knew- only too wen. ii wag ine sound of the south em express labonug up the Valley x ork not a mile away. She still had a good stretch to j pass j before she could reach the : mouth.; Could she get there before the express? She had scarcely asked herself the ques tion when the train leaped into the tunnel "with a 'shriek. : She had gained the wall qiick as aibah.

The State Chron icle Saturdays said the election of resident Butler "foreshadowed the conspirecy to disrupt the Democratic party." The editor states that he was there, and that he afterwards 'exposed ' the conspiracy, etc The editor of The Progressive f ar mer was there also and knows as much, about Alliance matters and perhaps little more, than the edi- to" of the Chronicle. We didn't make any expose at that time, but as the matter has been brought up several times, we propose to "expose" some things, too. Hon. John C Scarborough was not defeated 1 be cause he was a Demociat In proof of this will say that Ma ion Butler was known to be a Demo crat. He had never been anything else, had run his paper in the inter eat of the party, voted that way and was elected to the Senate on the Democratic ticket the year before- AS further proor, with only one or two exceptions, all the other State officers elected at the same time were well known Democrats. Every mem ber of the Executive Committee was re-elected as Democrats. This is un deniable proof that Democrats were not debarred; that there was no con spiracy to injure . the Democratic party. That had nothing to do with the defeat of Bro. Scarborough. He had many friends there The Alii ancemen of the State had great con fidence in his ability and integrity, and this confidence had not been shaken. ' But for one thing he would have been elected President of the State Alliance at that meeting. It was the fact that quite a number of politicians in and about Raleigh had determined to make Bro. Scarbor ough President. There was wheie in. Wheth er Bro. Scat borough was aware of this or not we are not prepared to say. Rut such was the case. All the true Alliancemen resented this unwarranted interfeience. It has been the rule to frown down any elec tioneering inside the ranks, and when outside parties fixed up a slate, cut and diied a candidate for State President, it was too mueh. No man under the sun could have been elec ted under those circumstances. It was a case where the alleged friends of a man defeated him. President Butler was elected: If the editor of the Chronicle is not a member of the organization, . perhaps he should leave it to the members to say who a a a a aa Bhaii or shall not . be its officers.

My youngest child, Susie Battle, aged 7 years, often surprises me with apt ness of speech. 1 remarked to-day that we might uuder certain contin gencies have to go to the "poor house" she said we were already there now, there wasn t any money in our house. Only a short time since we moved into this 'poor house," When we were arranging to give up our ormer home, she remarked "that she couldn't hiseralize that we had to do so." I thought the new coined word specially apt Alas! how many of the innocent ones are forced to miseralizb these changes. If the Goldites succeed in their designs many who now lit tle dream of the possibility of such a hing, will I fear, witness the miser- alizino on the part of their little ones. Yours truly, M. J.
