In 1894 North Carolina cultivated
53,113 acres in rye and produced
' 478,017 bushels; 104,525 acres in
hay and grew 233,501 tons ; 17,955
acres in potatoes and 1,113,210

3,475,735 bushels; 2,459,663 acres
in corn' and 32,959,484 bushels;
527,S93 acres iu oats and 5,754,034

small. Make more hay and stop
buying from the North. The po
tato crop is much less than we had
aup osd. The wheat crop is rather

Editor News prd Observer : In
regard to the assignment bill which

Mr. Smith of Stanlv. introduced a
bill to preyeat preferences ia a
signmeuts, as I understood i!; after
havinc had several conversations
with him in regard to it when the
bill was reported by the Finance,
Ccmmtttee, Mr. Smith told me that
it was not the original, but a sub
stitute, understood to have been
prepared by Hileman, Chairman of
the Committed. I was opposed to the
Smith bill, and when I learnel that
it had bee a amended at the instance
of Mr. Hileman, I was more than
ever opposed to it, belieyicg that
mischief would result to the busi
ness interests of the State if radical
Legislation should be had along this
line. And Mr. Smith came to ma
and said that he would have not'm
ing further to do with it, inasmuch
as the substitute had changed the
purpose of his bill. Subsequently 1
called up the bill and moved to lay
it on the table, stating at the time it
was a dangerous bill. The motion
was carried by a large majority, the
Democrats voting the affirmative
solidly.
I never heard of the bill any more
until I noticed in the papers after
the Legislature had adjourned that
had become a law.

Why lliey Are ;,.
The Kicston.Fre.e Pre3 says, iu
eferring to the-new magistrates :
The newly appointed magistrates
are not magistrates, because they
failed to qualify. They failed to
qualify because the certified hats
were not sent out in time by the tecv
r.tary of state, who did not send
them out iu time because the
blanks to send then on didn't
come to him in ' lime. Tne
blanks oidn't come to him in
time because the public printer
lives at Winston to far from the
State capital. The public printer at
Winston was elected by thj fusion
legislature, and is making big money
on the public printing paying bis

is "reform."

cf Ayor's Pills, with the most satisfac

remedy. My wifo, who had been an

If urhnniTonn Charter.
Durham, April 11. Our people
have been congratulating themselves
upon the fact that the late Lfgisla
'tire did not upset our town by more
than one undesirable change m its
charter. They thought that tbe
election of the chief of police by
popular vote was unwise and that
was all in the new amendments to
the charter against wh eh any ob
jection was raised. Now it seems
that tbe prr.endments have gotten so
mixt d that as the enrolled and rati
fied bill stands it is contradictory
and will probably cause us some
trouble. In rection 1 it is provided
that the chief of police be elected
by popular vote and that his term
ot cilice be two years, bection 7,
however, declares that the chief of
police and ail other policemen shall
bo elected by the board of aldermen
elected in May and shall have a life
tenure office.

wishes.
Mr. Reisser was also a Mason and
a member of Rising Star Lo lge
Oriental Chapter, and of the Ka-
dosh Commaijdery.
These orgauizitions were invited
to ti ke part in the funeral, but be.
fore accepting it was learned that it
was the intention to haye the rer
vices at the time the body was cre
mated.
The question was at once raised
nhetbrr, uuder. Masonic law, this
would be a Christian burial. The
matter was "fef erred to ihe Grand
Master 'of- Pennsylvania, who is
Judge Arnold, and he promply ren
dered a decision that seryrces at a
cremation were' not Christian
burial' under Masonic law. . The
family, therefore, decided . to abai
don their original intention.
The funeral to k place today and
