Tbe message of 1887, mild as it was, threw the protected classes into spasms. They went into the campaign of the following year with eyes blood shot. They gained a short lived triumph. The man whom they held in such rage and terror has come back to the place from which they thrust him, and he utters no word of triumph or of self gratulation. He makes no reference to Mb former Administration. Nobody un familiar with the nation's history could i.rn fmm his inaugural address that Mr. Cleveland had ever before been President of the United States. ucn a spin u mo hBt. aiicriirv of a successful and useful term, sinco it indicates that he has neither friends to reward nor enemies to punish, r, .nr AnilatO serve but those Of the UVi vm j - - entire country. Brooklyn Citizen (Dem.), March 4. Th affect of the address as a whole must be gratifying to every man who voted for Mr. Cleveland. It shows us theTresi dent alive with the sense of duty, under nr delusions whatever as to the work which the American people have elected him to discharge, and in the enjoyment nf a nerfact nhvsical and mental health which, under the blessing of God, will enable him to perfectly sustain every burden of bis great office. Boston Herald flnd.-Dem.'), March 5. The address is well grounded in principle; but very brief in its elaboration oi me noints considered. They are all sound and wise ones, including, as they do, a conservative protection of the currency, a call for clear roform in the tariff, a warning against pension abuses, an ap neal for economy in expenditure, a con damnation of the conferment of office for n&rtisan service, a disapproval of the "trust" practices in trade, and an advo- cacy ot equal .rigbts Deiore me iaw. There could hardly be a bettor platform for a patriotic President to present in the opening oi bis Administration. Boston Globle (Dem.),March 6. Those to whom the people havo entrusted in Congress the duties of remedying existing wrongs may be counted upon to follow the wise, conservative, and businesslike course which the people's President points out, and which not only leads to the continued supremacy of Democracy, but assures the prosperity, honor, and welfare of the whole country. London Times, March 5. The address boldly grapples with the most crying evils in American politics in language of refreshing directness, which is all the more important because Mr. Cleveland is not fishing tor votes. He declares war - against McKinleyism and the attendant demoralization. We, however, do not ex pect any doctrinaire application of the abstract principles of Free Trade. Brooklyn Standard Union (Hep.), March 6. The British newspapers are all pleased with Cleveland's inaugural. They think it brave, and to contain nearly all the good points. They look to Cleveland and his crowd for a better chance at our markets. Only the Stan dard ventures to say, according to the tonoofthe address, the American tariff will remain essentially Protective, though it will be reduced. Crowded With Silver Bullion. More Stored in Philadelphia's Mint Than Ever in One Place Before. Philadelphia, Pa., March 11. The vaults of the United States -Mint in this citv to day hold the largest amount of bar silver ever stored in one place in the United States. The quantity is 110,000, 000 ounces, or fully enough, with the usual alloy, to make no less than 150,000, .000 silver dollars. The vaultage of the Mint is said to be unexcelled in this country, yet the eteel-walled treasure holders are filled to overflowing and the bullion is being received from the Gov ernment at the rate ot 3,800,000 ounces a month. Besides this amount there are sealed in the separate vaults $50,000,000 in coined silver. The seal on the door has not been broken for two years. It has been necessary, to construot another steel-lined vault to store the bullion. The new vault is about ten feet from floor to ceiling, about eight feet wide and thirty-five leet long. It was completed yesterday, and the Govern ment will begin using it on Monday. With the' silver piled clear up to the ceiling, this new storage place will con tain 20.000.000 ounces, and will be filled in less than six months. The construe tion of another storage place is, therefore, a necessity, should the purchase of silver continue. .Before 1890 there was never more than 3,000,000 ounces on band. 137 Put it down as a fact that no people can be prosperous, contented and wke who persist in feeding their horses upon Northern hay, keep their wheat fields in the Great West, their smoke house in Cincinnati, Chicago and Louis ville, and their manure piles in distant islands of the seas. Poverty, mortgages, bankruptcy all lie along that line as thou sands of failures attest. The reports from the Atlantio Cotton States, are that the increase in sales of fertilizers is one third above . last year We take this to mean that the farmers are going in debt and there will be a larger crop with propitious seasons Then prepare to sell your cotton from . five to six cents and be thankful. Then what? Wilmington Messenger. PostmastersGeneral Bissell an nounces that no local business men ueed apply for postoffices.

The bill wbicb has now become law provides that after July 1st, 1898, automatic couplers and continuous brakes shall be used on all freight trains engaged in inter-state com merce. There are in use at the present time in this country, 1,200,000 freight cars and it is estimated that the applica tion of the- automatic coupler alone to this number will cost $25,000,000. To say nothing of this enormous cost, the highest capacity of the car works of tho country is estimated at not over 200,000 couplers a year, so that it is readily evident that five years allowed tbe roads in which to complete tbe changes prescribed is none too long.

Tbe following letter from tbe Anniston Hot Blast will revolutionize the planting and growing of Irish po tatoes: "In December Mr. Alf Truitt, out of curiosity, placed an Irish potato in the centre of a peck box, containing cotton seed, a little sou surrounding it. In tbe course of time the shoots of the potato appeared at the top of the box. He encouraged it with an occasional ap plication of water, lbe vines grew to the height of a foot or more, but strange to say it was without leaves. Yesterday he decided to examine the contents of the box, and took from it more than a quart of nice potatoes, many ot them larger than hen eggs. His family will enjoy them for dinner today, and he will probably be the first man in Alabama to eat of new Irish potatoes this year. "Several witnessed the taking of the potatoes from the box and all pro. nounced it a most wonderful discovery. A calculation can easily be made to show that several bushels of tbe finest and earliest potatoes can easily be grown in this way within a small room." ISff There can be no doubt that the framers of tbe constitution, in fixing tbe first Monday in December as tbe time for the meeting of Congress, expected that tbe elections would be held jn the autumn immediately proceeding. It happened, in getting tbe machinery ot tbe Uonstitu tion started, that the new Government could not be organized until spring, and thus an accidental date was fixed from which the terms of two years and four years have since been counted. The Constitution does not fix this date, but it does nx tbe length of tho term, which cannot be even temporarily extended or reduced, as would be required to change this datd, without tbe tormality of an amendment.

The new cotton mill company at Gas- tonia, has obtained its charter as the Windsor Cotton Mills, witb a capital stock of $75,000. A frog pond, fenced about so as to keep out snakes and turtles, bas raised ai.uuu worth of frog meat on one acre. The market is sure and the demand greater than the supply. Where is the farmer's boy who will start irog raising ior profit ? Bukkkd to thk Ground. On Saturday afternoon, 3d inst., the Bethel church, Gaston county, was destroyed by fire. By hard work the windows, the stove, and some of the benches were saved. The flames soon reduced the building to ashes. This is a great loss to Bethel congregation. The new cotton-yarn mill at Lexing ton, will require a building oOxzUO leet in size, and work on it will at once com mence. Subscription books to the company's stock have been opened, and the lull amount ot capital proposed, 150,000, bas been taken. Mr. W. E.

We were shown last Monday two beautiful ten dollar gold pieces, one coined 1795 and one in 1797. Mr. R. B.

Of all the ten dollar gold pieces in Tbe Herald's cash box we have been unable to nnd any coined as long ago as that. Morganton Herald, The Concord Standard says Mr. Adam Stougb, of Cabarrus county, got tangled on tbe days of the week and put in all of last Sunday, up to 3 o'clock in tbe afternoon, ploughing. Then he found out what day it was and knocked off. His woman folks put in the day baking and preparing for Sunday, which they thought was tbe next day. Preliminary work has commenced for a new cotton mm near Morganton. A party of gentlemen, including L. A Bristol, S. Huffman, J. H. Pearson and W. L. Hudson, of Morganton, have pur chased a fine water-power site on Hun tington creek, and propose erecting a b.UUU spindle cotton lactory as soon as arrangements can be completed. Tbe North Carolina exhibit at the World's Fair will be very handsomely and effectively "installed," as the phrase is. The exhibition will occupy 7,100 feet of floor space and it will oost $15,000 to install it. The show cases and all the wood work will be of the most beautiful kind : ot quarter sawed oak, band carved and polished to tbe highest de gree. This wood work is now being done at Grand Rapids, Michigan. Huntersville, is next inline with a new cotton mill. A company has been org a nized, and Messrs. M. C. Hunter, H. J. Walker and J. W. Mullen appointed as committee to purchase the necessary equipment of machinery. It has been decided to put in looms only, and they will be ordered at once. This plant will be ready lor operation in a lew weeks. In Forest City, on Monday morning, the boiler ot the r lorence Cotton Mills explo ded, dealing death and disaster broadcast. Bricks and timbers were thrown high in tbe air and fell on and damaged nearly every bouse in the neighborhood, and the windows in the mill were shattered and the water works and machinery damaged. The operatives had just gone to work when the explosion took place, and those that were not killed or injured were terribly stunned. People in tbe neigh borhood were thrown to the ground by tbe shock. A gentleman in this county recently in speaking upon the subject, said that his sheep paid him a profit ot to. dol lars and a half every year, including the wool and lambs. These sheep only cost two dollars, so there is an annual return ot one nunared per cent., alter paying expenses, tor the halt dollar will fully cover an expense. What business can any man engage in which will pay him better or so well. With our proximity to the large markets, on account of the ample railroad facilities, there is no trouble about a market for every lamb or mutton. We refer to this and kindred subjects frequently, because we fee deeply interested in tbe success of our farmers, and we wish" tbem to think of these matters. we are satisfied that grass, grain and stock will make this one ot tbe most prosperous farming sections in the union.

The Waldenses, who have for centuries inhabited tbe Italian side of Cotlian Alps, whither they took refuge from persecution in the early ages, find that they cannot longer live in comfort in their old home and are thinking of raov ing to INortb Uarolina. The pastors of the Waldensian congre gations convened in a synod to consider tho situation and resolved to send two delegates to North Carolina to inquire regarding tbe prospects of settling in this State. The Waldenses are a hardy and I very thrifty people, retaining in a re heroic ancestors. If the reports from the delegates should be favorable 2,000 Wal denses will emigrate to North Carolina in the spring. Their business is chiefly the man ufacture of cloth. They can find plenty of room and a warm welcome in our State. Our State Motto. rru ui r tono u - I ii iih iii iiiiiiin vii i h in n a r n nniiura Tm Htran ; A. j m . .rr : r. r-ip-- the bill nrovidintr a Ktntn mm.tsv .. Tbe act provides that the words 20 May, 1775," shall be placed in tbe upper part of tbe State's coat of arms. This is a proper and just recognition of the first declaration of American independence. It is a memorable date in tbe annals of liberty, and will be 'a; proud addition to tbe insigna of our State. Tbe act further provides that the phrase, Esse Qiiam Videri, is adopted as the motto of tbe State, and shaft be en graved on tbe Great Seal of tbe State and at the bottom of the coat of arms. These words mean "To be rather than seem to be," and are a suitable recogni tion of tbe honest, sturdy, unpretending character of our people. Beginning with tbe national motto, "JB Pluribus Unum," nearly every State bas adopted a motto. Witb rare exceptions these mottoes are Latin. Ine reason for their being in Latin and not in English is not far to seek. Owing to tbe Latin expressing tbe different forms of the verb and of the noun by a mere change in termina tion and not as in English by tbe addition of particles and prepositions, Latin is far more condensed and terse. The three words "Esse Quam Videri" require the use ot seven Xinglisb words to express the same idea. The Latin is therefore more sought after in 'the adoption of mottoes for States, societies, badges aad all like purposes. Curiosity bas been stimulated to learn the origin of the phrase. It is first found n Cicero in' bis essay on Friendship (cb 26) though it is not there used in the sense now usually attached to it. He says. "Virtue enim ipsa non tarn multi praediti esse quam videri volunt, "the truth is that virtue is a quality which not so many desire to possess as to desire to seem to possess" or literally, "for indeed not so many wish to be endowed with virtue as wish to seem to be" Tbe phrase, however, was a striking one and being caught up was adopted as motto. In that best collection ot mot toes extant, the coats ot arms of the British peerage, no less than three noble houses have adopted it. to wit: The Earls of Winlerton, Earl Brownlow and Lord Lurgan. It bas been adopted by many associa tions, especially literary societies. In this state it is said to be the motto of one of tbe societies at Trinity College, and with a modification by one of tbe socie ties of Wake Forest. This sentiment and tbe phrase are good enough. Let North Carolinians now make it as memorable and as distinguish ed as any that has ever decorated a royal banner or the shield of a courtly knight. Among our sister states it can proudly take its place between the Sic Tyranms. of Virginia, and the Animis Opibusque Farati, of South Carolina. This act does not apply to county seals. Each county is authorized by tbe Code to adopt its own seal. Many have now on the county seal the appropriate phrase Leges Juraque Vindicamus. The present act applies only to the State Seal and Coat ot Arms. Kaleigh Chronicle. Tbose Villa e Farms. uovernor JMortuen is very Aluca interested in Them to Baild Up the State. Governor Northen'&nd Professor H. C White, of the State University, are very much interested in building . up Georgia by tbe establishment of village farms. lbe people in the country are coming to town at a rapid rate in order to get educational and religious advantages, and in order to be protected from lawless men. On this account tbe country is be ing depopulated and tbe towns are being built up. Governor Northen and Professor White have long advocated the settle ment of numerous families in one com' munity near to each other each having a small larm to cultivate. Professor White read a paper on this subject to the members of tbe State Agri cultural society at its recent meeting in Augusta, and at its close Governor Northen indorsed it in an able speech. (Governor Northen s talk will apply to the farmers of North Carolina witb equal force as to Georgia.) Of this speech the Augusta News bas this to say: At tbe conclusion of the address of President Henry C. White, of the State Agricultural college, before tbe State Agricultural society in this city, Gover nor Northen delivered some straight and strong talk to tbe farmers ot Georgia. After pronouncing Dr. White's address tbe most important and timely he bad ever beard on the Bubject, our farmer governor indorsed it entirely and asked the f armors what they were going to do about it. He told tbem to keep on as at present, and their farms would be de populated and desolated. He told thorn to take the advice given them, to accept the solution of their troubles now offered, and they would soon becomeindependent and bappy. Governor Northen impressed the. far mers with the fact that the secret of suc cess and happiness on the farm and the solution of tbe great problem of the coun try were both offered by tbe plan pro posed by tbe thoughtful scientist and tbe observing president ot the agricultural college. He seconded the advice to divide up the big plantations, to inaugurate tbe plan of village farming or communal life, which, as Dr. White aptly remarked, is followed with success tbe world over, ex cept in tbe wilds of Africa, on tbe barren steppes of Russia and, strange to say, in that most fertile soil and blessed climate, tbe sunny south. Governor Northen not only indorsed Dr. White's plan of village farming, but be emphasized it with strong illustra tions. He gave bis experience witb a Chicago syndicate that is now trying to secure thousands of acres in Georgia for a similar purpose, and told of a friend who was now turning a 7,000 acre planta tion into village farms. Why should not the Agricultural society members do the same? Governor Northen asked this question in all earnestness and with telling torce. lie declared that many members owned thousands of acres, some ten thousand, and bade tbem go home 'and adapt their lands to tbe new conditions and to tbe demands ot tbe times. Tbe strong talk of the governor of Georgia was worth as much as a year's salary in tbe red chair of state. It pro duced a profound impression,' and will have a practical effect among Georgia farmers. If our land owners will stop and think they will see that they are ruining their tortunes and bringing their dissatisfied families up in ignorance and unbappiness under tbe present system on tbe larm. If they are wise, and want to be success fuf and happy, they, will about face, fol- - . f " j i Tk mux. lOW vue pan prvwocu vr jji. n uiw mub awtm wu aw a w . w - - vAHhn. u r . ' j The Rale in Shelly 's Case Is tne Law or North Carolina. In an opinion recently filed by Chief Justice Sheppard a question of impor tance was decided which heretofore bas been In doubt among the legal profession. This is. in'effect, that the rule in Sbelly's case has not been abolished in North Carolina. -The - question was argued in the case of Harns vs. Hill, from Bun. combe county, at this term of tbe Su preme Court. The following is a synopsis of the opinion written by our Chief Justice, and as his opinions have no superfluous words or matter in them, it must neces sarily be imperfect, only showing tbe general outliue of tbe decision: A was seized ot an estate in lee to tbe use ot a during her natural lite, ana in tbe event that C, her husband, should outlive B, then to C during the term of bis natural life: after the determination of the said life estates, then to the use of the heirs of said C. Held: that in the limitations of a trust, either of real or personal estate, tbe construction of limi tations ought to bo made according to tbe construction of limitations of a legal estate, unless tbe intent of tbe testator or author of tbe trust plainly appears to the contrary. Fearne cont. Rem. 125. The limitations under consideration must be determined by the rules of common law applicable to limitations of a strictly legal character. In tbe event of tbe death of B before C, then C would take a vested estate, but until the happening of this contingency tbe rule in Sbelly's case could not operate bo as to defeat tbe contingent remainders of his heirs as purchasers, and tbe said heirs would have said contingent re mainder in fee, expectant upon tbe de termination of tbe life estate of B, their mother. In this event they will take not under said C, but as purchasers, the word ''heirs'' being descriptive person i urn only. Tbe position that tho warranty in the deed of the life tenant can defeat the remainder of the said heirs by way of rebutter, is wholly untenable. Code sec. 1334: Moore vs. Parker. 12 Ired. 123. Tbe rule in Shelly's case is applicable in every case where an estate is limited to one for life, with a remainder limited to tho heirs of the first taker, whether the tenant for life has children or not; but tbe act, by its very terms, can only extend to tbose cases, if to any, in which the first taker bas children. In Smith vs. Bryson, 90 N. C, 284, tbe court held that section ld29 ot The Code applied, and construed tbe deed as it tbe limitation over bad read, "tbe said land shall go to the children of my son, James A. Mercer." It also seoms to have been tbe purpose of the act to sustain a direct con veyanco to tbe heirs ot a living person. As there can be no heirs during the life of tbe ancestor, tbe act in question provides that, in sucb a case, the word "heirs shall be construed to mean children, and tbe limitation therefor would be good. It seems that tbe main object of tbe act (and its phraseology nicely adapts it to the purpose) was to convert a contin gent into a vested remainder under cer tain circumstances, tor instance, an estate to A for life, remainder to the heirs of B, B living and having children.' Now, at common law, this created a contingent remainder in tbe heirs of B for nemo est haeres viventis, and if A died before B the heirs or tbe children of B took noth ing, under the act in question the cbil- dren of B would take a vested remainder, and, upon the death of A would get the estate whether B was living or not. Raleigh Chronicle. Even Pork May be Grass. "One of the curious things we have taught our hogs to do at Klamath Falls, Ore.," said G. W. Smith, a merchant of that place, "is to eat- hay like horses. They will do it, too, and thrive on it. In fact, in winter they get nothing else. It is alfalfa hay we have taught them to eat. -It is put in a rack that is not too high, and that they can reach up to, and they pull it out just like horses and cattle. "Tbey can say what they please about a bog, but there is more money in him at prices that havo ruled this year than there is in a steer, and you only have to keep him one third as long. I speak partially as a merchant and partially as a rancher, tor 1 own over 600 acres that ib down in alfalfa. When I lived in Santa Clara county ten years ago, I didn't think much about such a coming condition of affairs as this, but it bas now been fully demonstrated to me. Hogs are to be our great profitable yield in tbe Klamath basin, as 1 believe they will be in tbe alfalfa regions of California. "What do we do to stiffen up and round out the hay eating hogs? Turn them into a field of wheat, a hundred acres or bo, according to the. number you have, and let tbem eat it right from the stems. It finishes them up in fine shape, an makes as handsome pork as you would wish to find anywhere." San Francisco Examiner. i A Novel. Battle Won ' bt Bees. Raleigh, N. C, March 10. News reached here to-day of a remarkable fight in Cleveland county, near the South Caro lina line. Two men, named Trout and Hutchins, were removing a bee-hive, about which they had wrapped a cloth. 1 wo men named McD&niel met them and a quarrel and fight followed. Hutchins stripped tbe cloth from tbe hive and placing it over bis bead held tbe hive in front as be advanced towards tbe Mc- Daniels. Bees poured out and savagely attacked the latter, wbo bad to retreat One of tbem shot Hutchins in the shoulder, but be advanced with his novel gatlinggun, and, aided by the bees, drove the McDaniels over the line into South Carolina.

Our New Orleans cotton letter, whieh Is written for us by Atwood Violett& Co., contains soma points ibis week that ought to be enforced upon tbe attention ot every cotton planter and cotton factor in tbe touth. This is not a time at wbicb anyone interested in. the South can afford to mince matters. It is plainly apparent that if the crop about to be planted is greater than that of the season now drawing to a close, tbe result will be ruinous to tbe people growing the staple, and will bring infinite barm on all Southern industries which are in any way dependent upon cotton or cotton planters. Several conventions have al ready been held and resolutions passed to reduce tbe acreage, and other meetings will probably follow, but what is needed is concerted action from every State, not a meeting to talk, but to determine upon some feasible plan by wbicb the acreage may be kept down and then to act upon it. This is a matter in which tbe commission merchant and factor are tbe prime movers, nd whatever is done should be, in fact must be, with tbeir co-operation. Tbe factor determines tbe size of tbe crop by tbe amount be advances to tbe farmer, and if at this time they permit their clients to increase their acreage, it ill be little less than, criminal, as they know to a certainty that only one result can follow, and that is ruin. Manufac turers' Record. To Preserv Meat. The article below comes from good authority and we give our readers tbe benefit of it as a whole. Haw Rivrr, N. C, March, 4, 1893. Dxar Sir : I see from a late issue of tbe News a receipe for preventing bugs on meat. Will you allow me to give you a receipe I have tried for four years, and I have not seen a bug on my meat in that time. Take warm water and wash all the salt off your meat, nice and clean. Take pulverized borax and sprinkle it all over the flesh side of the pieces, then bang up. I use a common pepper box for sprinkling the borax on. W. H. Trolingir. Burlington News.
