That’s the Way it Works. He pitched his white tent in the wilds, Far from the human “set” And with a faith just like a child’s, He said “I’ll get there yet.” He put him up a case of type. A hand press and a ‘ stick'' And there when screamed the owl and snipe, He made the letters “click.” They wondered what he was about, When in the woods they found him, But when he got his paper out, They built a town t round him. POLITICAL POINTS. LOCALS The colored Methodist Episcopal church at Bessemer City is nearing corn pletion. Messrs. Hand, Whitney and Moore a e pushing work rapidly on the new furni ture, sash, door and blind factory. They have orders enough in now, for furniture, sash and doors, to keep them running the first two months after they start up. Bessemer City is not booming, but she is getting there all the same. Go to J. A. Pinchback & Co’s., stere for cheap dry goods for cheap groceries and canned goods of the best quality for cheap clothing and everything else usually found in a first class store, all goods positively bought and sold for cash and hence the low prices. Every- ibing warranted as represented er money refunded, J. A. Pinchback & Co., Bes semer City N. C. is the place. Several new houses going up at Bes semer City; the civil engineers at work locating streets and lots; a force of hands at work clearing underbrush out; nearly a hundred mines at work; two saw mills, one planing mill, and shingle machine, and soon a cotton mill and brick machine, and not a loafer in Bes semer City. “Little drops of water and little grains of sand, make the mighty ocean and the wonderous land,’ and enough of these little things will make a Mr. Richard Stanton, an English min eralogist who has not quite forgotten how to use his “h’s,” has been at Besse mer City several days this week chiefly looking after gold bearing sulphurets. He found the largest vein of this miner al he has ever seen on the property of the Bessemer Co. He was captivate t by the showing the Company is making iu mining its high grade. Bessemer ores. He says he has seen no such property . before in America. The Professor rep resents some large capitalist, and we would not be surprised to hear of large purchases in this section soon. There has been a mysterious stranger about Bessemer City this week and last, wearing a badge. Some think he is a “Tariffs Do Not Raise Wages.” This is the confession extorted from Major McKinley in reply to Governor Campbell’s repeated call for the naming of a man whose wages had been raised by the late tariff act. But everybody at all conversant with politics knows that the constant claim of the Republicans has been that their policy of protection was for the benefit of American labor. The country has now had a practical test of the truth or fallacy of this claim in the operation of the McKinley tariff for a year and a half, and its author is compelled to admit at last that “tariffs do not raise wages.” This is an important lesson in popular education on the tariff, demolishing as it does the only argument which the protectionists could offer to workingmen to reconcile them to its high tax ation. But the tariff raises prices —the prices of all the protected articles. It was in tended to raise them, else it would have been of no value to their producers. The practical working of the McKinley act shows that its increased duties have raised the prices of many articles. This increased price the laboring man must pay, while his own wages, as is now ad mitted, are not raised by protection. This admission implies another—that high protective duties—duties so high as to sacrifice revenue for protection— are for the sole benefit of the manufac turer or other producer. The consumers of the country are heavily taxed solely for their benefit. As the Richmond (Ind.) Palladium, a Republican and pro tection paper, lately said: “The protective principle does not contemplate the raising of a revenue; its purpose is to encourage the making of everything we need at home and thus avoid importations and a revenue from duties.” The people of the country have to de cide, in the elections of next fall,whether they approve and wish to continue a tariff which does not contemplate the raising of revenue and does not raise the wages of labor, but aims at excluding the cheaper products of other countries solely for the benefit of producers of similar goods in this country.—Atlanta Journal “A Study in Wool.” The New York Commercial Bulletin has been making a study of the “Wool Book” for 1892, prepared by Mr. 8. D. N. North, Secretary of the Wool and The Radicals’ Reconstruction Issue. The Republic acknowledges its obliga tions to the Republican National League of Clubs for a copy of the Republican campaign handbook,issued by the league for 1892. There is a good deal of in teresting matter in it, but nothing more interesting than what is given under these head lines: FOR HONEST ELECTIONS. THE NEED OF A NATIONAL LAW.

Others that he is after certain lawless characters, and others still who think he wants to buy tan bark and land. He appears to be a gentleman and pays his way as he goes. He may he at Bessemer for his health. We hope he will get what he wants, whatever it is. It is rumored that one of the former employes of the Bessemer City Co. attbe mines has forged a due bill for $40.00. The Co. has had notice of the due bill and received a notice from a merchant at King’s Mountain that ho had it for collection. But when the Sec. and Treas. called for it and offered to pay any due bill of the Co. he was informed by the King’s Mountain merchant that the due bill had been withdrawn and this too after said merchant had notice that no due bill of the Bessemer City Co. existed unless it was a fraudulent one. Upon examination of the account of the party claiming to bold due bill it was found that he was discharged and settled with in full some months ago. The law will be allowed to take its course in the matter and if the penitentiary don’t get one more boarder it will not get its dues. / A Successful Submarine Boat. Z George C. Baker has demonstrated that water can be navigated at any rea sonable depth below the surface. A final test of his submarine boat, upon which he has been at wort since December, 1890, was made in the River Rouge, fiv miles from Detroit, and was entirely sat isfactory. i The river is only sixteen feet deep, which admits of the boat being su - merged two feet. It was run up and down and across the stream sever 1 times, turning, sinking and rising at the pilot’s pleasure. The boat is cigar- shaped, made of oak, the shell being forty feet long, fourteen feet high, nine feet wide amidship and seven inches thick. The motive power is a storage battery of 260 cells, which is believed to be the largest ever made. Tais also gea crates light. The course of the boat in directed by a pilot who stands in a small conning tower which is provided with lookout holes. It ii necessary, in taking bearings, to rise to the surface, but in so doing onlya few inches of the top of the tower appears above the sur- faco. With the conning tower hermeti cally sealed, the interior of the boat can. tains 150ff cubic feet of air. The wheel* are oia each side, midway between bow ■and stern and one foot below the center line. The boat is raised and lowered by letting water into the hold and by de flecting the side wheels. Mr. Baker is confident that this will eventually revo lutionize present methods of naval war fare.—St. Louis Republic. A Ruffe Tueorf of the Creation. The savage islanders of the South Pacific believe that the world is a cocoa- nut shell of enormous dimensions, at the top of which is a single aperature com municating with the upper air, where human beings dwell. At the very bot tom of this imaginary shell is a stem gradually tapering to a point, which rep resents the beginning of all things. This point is a spirit or demon without human form, whose name is “Root of All Exist ence.” By him the entire fabric of crea tion is sustained. In the interior of the cocoanut shell, at its very bottom, lives a female demon. So narrow is the space into which she is crowded that, she is obliged to sit for ever with knees and chin touching. Her name is “The Very Beginning,” and from her are sprung numerous spirits. They inhabit five different floors, into which the great cocoanut is divided. From certain of these spirits mankind is descended. Th, islanders, regarding themselves as the only real men and women, were formerly accustomed to re gard strangers as evil spirits in the guise of humanity, whom they killed when t iey (■ '”' 1 - Bering them as sacrifices.— Wa Woolen Association, and Statistical Agent of the United States Census. It draws certain conclusions from this volume that throw a flood of light on the wool and woolen tariff which the House bill just passed attempts to cor rect. First—That the tariff has not main tained the price of domestic wool, it be ing cheaper now than under the low- revenue tariffs of 1846 and 1857. The average price of Ohio medium fleece wools for 1858, ’59 and ’60,when cloth ing wools were almost free of duty, was 43.66 cents. The price of like grades under the high tariffs of 1883 and 1890 has averaged for the last three years 36.23 cents per pound. Second—The tariff has not kept out foreign wools by taxing them. Under tlic low tariff of 10-40 vro imported, iu 1850,26.3 per cent, of our consumption. Under the almost free-wool tariff of 1857 we imported in 1860 but 30.4 per cent, of our consumption, Under the high protective duties from 1867 to the pres ent time we are still, in 1890, importing 30.4 per cent. Third—The effect of our high tariff on the manufacture of shoddy is most 'conspicuous. In 1880 the capital vas $1,165,100; in 1890 it was 14,091,207. Value of product in 1880, ■64.989,615, and in- 1890, $7,711,715. Searing in mind that this great progress »a shoddy does not include a great many ’arge mills that make their own shoddy, it must be admitted, says the Bulletin, that in this branch the high tariff has given a most effectual stimulus, as it also das to the substitution of cotton for wool in the backs of what purport to be woolen goods. Fourth—The production of domestic woolen and worsted goods aside from shoddy shows substantially no increase in ratio to population. In 1880 it was $5.34 per head, in 1890 it was $5.40. Filth—The amount paid in wages in the manufacture of woolen and worsted goods is less than $23 on a hundred dol lars’ worth of product. Yet in order to “equalize the cost of production in this country and the countries that seek our markets,” the McKinley bill puts a tax of $90 on the hundred dollars’ worth of imported goods. But even this does not increase the wages of employes, their average earnings being less than $350 per year. Sixth—As Mr. Hamilton in 1791 re ported that woolen manufactures were firmly established in this country, and as the factories then, without protection, furnished a larger proportion of the woolen goods consumed than our fac tories now succeed in supplying, it is difficult to see what benefit the American people have derived fiom the high tariffs and what to-day we have to shoV for the enormous taxes exacted from the people for the past quarter of a century under the compact between the Ohio woolgrowers and a part of the Eastern manufacturers. These are conclusions from his wool book that Mr. North did not expect to nave drawn, and the Bulletin calls upon him and upon the President of the asso ciation to upset or to deny any of them. —Congressman Wilson, in St. Louis Re public. This is sufficiently specific, in spite ot what it omits. It does not say that the National election law thought sufficient for the first Reconstruction is still on the statute books. But it is proposing an issue, not writing a history,and the issue is that of a second Reconstruction under the Returning Board plan proposed in the Lodge Force bill. In further ex planation of the Republican plan of cam paign, the campaign book says: “One voter, and he inevitably a Dem ocrat in the South, holds as much power as seven voters in the North. It is hardly worth while to go over the methods by which this result is accom plished. The country understands them. They are not denied. The Democratic Congressman from North Carolina, Mr. Hemphill, who said, in debating the election bill in the last Congress, ‘Gen tlemen, it comes to this: The whites of the South know that they must t either rulethe South or leave it, and I say to you, by God! they will not leave it!’ told the secret.” This and a good deal more like it is printed for the use of Republican stump speakers, and it leaves no further room to doubt that the Reconstruction policy of the Harrison administration is to be pressed on the campaign. The Force bill will be at the front as an issue, side by side with the tariff. The attempt will be made to arouse such a feeling against the Southern States that the tariff issue will be obscured by the revival or the bitter animosities of Civil War politics. Some have expected better of the Re publican party, but the Republic has seen from the first that the Radicals who are now in control of the party would force this issue into the campaign as they did in the Reed Congress. That faction of the Republican party refuses to live beyond the year 1865. Its high est ideal of patriotism and progress is that of using the methods of 1876 to bring 1865 back again. To this faction Benjamin Harrison belongs, and his re- nomination means that the people of the country must once more give their de cision between the merits of constitu tion Government and those of a Govern ment through returning boards and bay onets.—St. Louis Republic. The Varied Use of Slate. Slate is a variety, of rock, having a small, compact grain, and a very fine, continuous cleavage or splitting structure, by which it can be separated into thin, even places of great consistency. It was originally just so much soft mud on the floor of an ancient sea, but, in the course of ages it became consolidated, and then metamorphosed, or gradually altered in character by the continued operation of various natural forces, until its present condition was attained. The chief em- FARM AND GARDEN. will be serviceable for twenty years, - New York Times. RATS AND MICE IN THE GRANARY. The only effective way to keep out rats and mice from a granary is to line the sides as well as the door and sills with tin to a bight of two feet. It can be done at a moderate expense, and will shut out thieving rodents effectually. The loss and constant trouble from this one cause is very great on some farms. Frequently stock will refuse grain that has a taint of rats or mice, and should net be permitted to endure it while you have power to remedy the difficulty.— New York Independent. FERN CULTURE. A constantly warm and moist atmos phere is essential to ferns. The stock of terns can be increased, by dividing the roots in early spring, but when growing for profit, it is more usual to bring on seeding produced from spores sown in late summer or autumn. The spores should be sown in pans of fibrous peat mixed with sand and broken crocks, pressed firm, and kept perpetually moist by being stood in saucers of water. The pan should be shaded with paper until germination has taken place. As soon as the seedlings are large enough to han dle they should be pricked off into thumb pots. The best time for repot ting ferns is February, and large plants may then be divided. In potting on ferns the roots should be disturbed as little as possible, only the surface soil should be removed, and the outer part of the ball. Once in two years is often enough to repot ferns as a rule; old plants require repotting less often than young ones. While repotting, old and withered fronds may be cut away, but at no other time of the year should the leaves be cut back. The roots should never be allowed to get dry in winter summer.—New York World. BEST TIME TO SHEAR SHEEP. There is considerable difference 01 bl a roofiing material, for which purpose it is better adapted than any other sub stance that has yet been tried. School slates are prepared in a very simple man ner from picked specimens of the com mon roofing variety, those of the Welsh quarries, however, being generally pre ferred to any other. The plates which are to be made into writing slates must have a homogenous or finely grained and equal texture, and be without any yellow pyrites or “slate diamonds,” as these familiar glittering crystals are often termed. After they have been separated from the other sorts they are carried to workmen, who fashion them into school slates, by first splitting them up evenly if required, and then finely polishing them even with specially adapted steel tools. They are next sent to the joiners to be fitted with wooden frames, after which they are quive ready for the edu cational markets at home or abroad. One workman can polish or finish such a large * number of school slates in a day that the profit to the slate master or company is considerable, even if they are retailed at prices as low as a penny or twopence each. —Yan see Blade. Well Groomed Animals Work Best. Let two men of equal strength start at any hard outdoor work. Let them have the same food and shelter. One man washes and changes his clothes frequent ly; if he gets his feet wet be changes his stockings and dries his feet at night; he. keeps his skin clean and his clothes well aired. The other simply ‘eats to work,* paying little or no attention to keeping clean and dry. Does anybody doubt which man will do the more and better work during the season? We often hear men say they feed their horses well but still they can’t get them fat. Of course they can’t. It needs something besides dumping hay and grain into the manger and feed box and then leaving the horse to enjoy his food. Rubbing and drying pay with a horse just as they do with a man. A. clean, open skin means more horse power. Even a steel machine needs to be rubbed and pol ished. The horse that docs more work th i any other we know of is kept by a man who says' “When I havo nothing else to do I go out and rub down that horse'” There ought to be some better way of spending a portion of one’s spare time, but there be can nd doubt about the profit in a good currycomb and brush. —Chicago Times. Help for the Nerves. Celery probably stands first as a nerve, food, and when eaten in quantities by those suffering from nervous exhaustion] it proves of inestimable value. There are many medicines made chiefly out of. this vegetable, which cost considerable, but they are never so effective as the genuine article itself. The celery need not be eaten at the table, but the stalks should be kept handy so they can be chewed at any time. Eaten in the morn ing they will nourish the nerves for ths day’s trouble.—Pittsburg Dispatch. A dissipated old man applied at the Quartermaster’s office in San Antonio, Texas, for a position as clerk. “Do you know anything about general manage ment of the office?” asked the officer. “Do I know anything about General Management? I should smile. I knew him when he was Lieutenant,”—Texas Siftings. opinion as to the best time for shearing sheep. Leaving out of the account the few who shear very early (sometimes even in winter), in order to fit their an imals for show purposes, there are two classes of owners—one who think it best to remove the wool from their sheep as soon as a few warm days come iu the spring, and another who believe it to be wise to wait until the nights as well as the days are warm, and the summer heat has become strong and permanent. It seems to us that there are valid objec tions against either extreme, If deprived of their wool too early in the season, sheep suffer a great deal from cold and are also liable to contract severe lung diseases. The removal of a fleece of average weight must make a great dif ference in the condition of the animal, and one which it cannot safely with stand in cold weather or if it is soon to be exposed to sharp winds or heavy storms. On the other hand, the heat of some of the ear.y summer days is very prostrating to sheep which still have their fleeces, and must not only be ex tremely uncomfortable but also decidedly unhealthful. For this reason we believe it is safer and better to avoid either of these extremes It is not well to do the shearing until the weather is warm, and there can be no gain, and there may be much loss, in • ying the work after that time has a) d.—American Dairy man. FLAVORING BEEF. Rich, juicy beef is the product of breed and feed. If a good breed is ob tained, a good system of feeding then becomes essential for the highest perfec tion of meat.. There is such a thing as flavoring beef by feeding it,and breeders could make a distinct and noble depar ture in this line. Feeding in this way is not simply to give the animals any thing that they can convert into flesh, but only the food that will add to the beef certain flavors and richness which will make the meat desirable. Ii is the wild celery which makes the delicious flavor of the meat of the canvas-back duck. Chestnuts and other nuts make turkeys and chickens pro duce meat of a superior flavor, and it is now demonstrated beyond a doubt that clover-made pork is far preferable to that made entirely from coru. In many- other ways every article of food flavors the meat, making it better or worse for having entered the system of the animal or bird . Just previous to slaughter, beef takes its flavor directly from the food given to the animal, and the correct method of feeding is to give the cattle only suck foods an will make the meat sweet, jiu.cy and aromatic. A really choice article iu bucT, as wen as in any other food, will be eagerly sought after and paid for at fancy prices. But the feeding for flavor is not con fined entirely to cattle. The same truth holds among the swine,poultry and other animals. Successful dairymen are very careful in feeding their cows, because they know that the food will directly af fect the milk. Rich, juicy grass pro duces the fine June butter and cream, which is very different from the butter made from the dry, coarse fodder of the winter. It is important that all who raise meat for market should take a les son from the dairymen, and then try to adopt similar methods in their feeding. Vary the diet, and feed for bone, muscle and fat, but also feed for flavor. Even tender meat that has no juice or flavor is not very desirable. The French produce for market the finest poultry in the world, and they have succeeded in studying the question in this respect better than any other farmers. The meat of their poultry ex cels, and is of a remarkable flavor. They do it by feeding the fattening birds with cloves and spices, which become mixed in the meat so that there is a de licious aroma from it all of the time. So excellent are their methods in fattening poultry that farmers of other countries adopt their rules. Feeding for flavor is thus founded up on a law of nature which should not be overlooked. There is a wide field for investigation and experiment. The im provement of poultry, swine and cattle flesh is annually becoming more essen tial, and those who lead in this respect- are sure to reap the profits.—Boston Cultivator. HORSES SHOULD WEAR LIGHT SHOES. , Horses are commonly made to carry too heavy shoes. The shoe is designed merely to protect the hoof, and the lighter it can be made and still serve its purpose, the better for the horse. Horses that are devoted to farm work, and on land where there are few or no stones, may dispense with shoes, except while the ground is frozen. This would be of great advantage to the horse, to say nothing of the saving in the horseshoer’s bill. But most horses requires shoeing, and the shoes worn are generally heavy iron ones. Steel shoes can be made lighter, will wear longer, and the first cost is not so much more that it need pre vent their being used. Light horses and driving horses should always wear them. For horses of 1100 pounds weight, and with well-shaped, upright feet, the fore shoes should weigh about one pound each, and the hind ones twelve ounces. If four ounces are added to each shoe, let us see what a difference it will make. In plowing, cultivating, mowing, reap ing and many other farm operations, a horse will walk from ten to twenty miles a day, and advance about four feet at a step. At each step the horse lifts a half pound extra on its two feet or 660 pounds in every mile. Ina day’s work of fifteen miles, they would lift 9900 pounds extra or nearly five tons. If the force required to lift this five tons of iron could be ex pended in the work the horse is doing, much more could be accompolished. In the light of these facts, is it any wonder that when young horses begin to wear shoes, they soon grow leg-weary, have their step shortened and acquire a slower walking gait?—American Agriculturist. Fitting Snakes Against Rabbits. A good deal of attention, writes a South Australian correspondent, has been bestowed upon the subject of rabbit de struction, and some astounding sugges tions have been received from various parts of the world. The last suggestion is that a number of carpet snakes should be let loose among the rabbits, which! would, it is asserted, be speedily eaten, up by the reptiles. When from five feet to six feet long they are able to eat two or three rabbits at a meal, but; when fifteen or sixteen feet long they; are able to eat six rabbits. Anticipating j inquiry as to what would happen if the' snakes became more numerous than rab-i bits, he proposes that carpet snakes of one kind only should be used, and after, eating all the rabbits the snakes would term proceed to eat each other..—Boston ■Transcript.

Although geese are aquatic birds, they do not require water except at the breed ing season, when they need a stream or pond to mate in. They are mostly grass eaters, and five of them will eat as much grass as a sheep, and spoil more, unless the pasture is changed frequently. Dur ing the winter they are usually fed on oats, with cabbage leaves and chopped onions, of which they are especially fond. For rearing goslings; young gan ders only should ba used, as the old ones will pair off with one goose and neglect the others. A young one will take care of three or four geese. A suit able place for the nests is to be provided, and short strew, old rags, and such ma terial is given to them for making their nests; or a straw nest may be made in a shallow box for each goose. The geese are shut up at night and kept in until they have laid. The eggs are removed and kept in a cool place until the litter is complete, when the bird is set and shut up and fed and watered daily. When the goslings appear they and the goose are put on a good grass pasture, which is all they will need, but where pasture cannot be provided the food may consist of stale, dry bread, soaked in sweet skimmed milk, curd of sour milk, and chopped onions. Later, oats steeped in sweet milk may be given, and by good feeding of this kind the young birds will grow rapidly. It is necessary to supply them with small pebbles unless they can obtain them otherwise. A good gander should be kept, as these birds vary much in disposition, some being quarrelsome and apt to kill the goslings and especially young chickens. Ganders honey. By good cultivation you can produce 500 bushels of tomatoes per acre. If you can contract at twenty cents to • canning factory the crop will pay well. Proper care of the farm horses has as much to do with their condition as does good feed. A little grooming won’t hurt them, even if it is the height of the busy season. Growing cucumbers for pickles is one of the best uses to which you can put good ground for a second crop. Toe yield will be largely increased if you can irrigate. Women can prune as well as men, and often better, but are apt to find it tiring to stand on the rounds of a ladder. Ladders made with broader steps are bet. ter for them. * Nitrate of soda has been found very effective for root lice on peach trees. A quart to each tree is good for the tree on general principles, and destructive to the lice in particular. If our crops were properly diversified and we were growing every product of agriculture that.we use, with the area now being cropped, there could not possibly be any over-production. Sometimes hens become very indus trious and refuse to sit just when t'u ii owner wants their services the most. Lu such cases feed corn freely, and with hold bran, meat and seasoned food. In marketing poultry a neatly dressed carcass is half sold. Bleed in the mouth, dry pick, draw every feather, wash feet and head to remove dirt and blood, and pack in a clean box, basket or barrel.

Recently experiments have been made in Sweden to ascertain the effect ot feed ing cows the “press cake,” pomace, so no speak, from the fish oil factories. Herring constitute the bulk of the fish used. The idea was to see if this residue, which is used mostly as a fertilizer, would not be a good and cheap substitute for regular “oil cake,” from the cotton-seed oil factories. It was feared that the trulk might be injuriously affected, but this did not. seem to be the case, even when ,he daily ration reached two pounds, ’he butter, however, on long keeping, ■ emed to become somewhat oily.— American Farmer.
