PURELY A FAKE.
THAT'S WHAT THE STORY TOLD ABOUT
IHfc PRESIDENT WAS.
His Alleged Rebuff of Minister Ran
somthe Guards and Private De-
iccuves Around Gray Gables all
Myth-Another Lie Nailed.
Several nf ll-i Qi. . .
- ioic papers copied a
special irom the New York Sun fellina
now Minister Ransom had been rebuffed
ni a recent attempt to see President
i uutwiu s ray. it was
said mat he telephoned to the Presi
pttuussion to anve up to
oray i,ables only to be informed that
Mr. Cleveland was too busy tosee him.
l ull details of the alleged trip are
given and the special then says:
" If the telephone says Mr. Cleve
land can not be seen, that settles it.
No use of trying to go to Gray Gables
and send in a card, for the Gray
Gables grounds are as closely guarded
as if they were the cnhtr(..,c,,r ;
Wall
- w VIVUJUl ji in
",v-v-1 vy secret service men
tuspatched there by Chief Clerk
Haen, of Washington. It is almost
as hard to get into them as it is to
get to Heaven. Each guard is twelve
hours on duty and his business is to
see that no one passes into the Gray
Gables grounds further than the stone
pillars, unless otherwise instructed, as
well as to guard the President from
the shots of possible cranks."
The Charlotte Observer exploded
the fake by sending a telegram to Min
ister Ransom, at Blowing Rock, and
receiving a reply stating that he had
not been to Gray Gables and had
made no attempt to see the President.
This denial is explicit enough, but a
part of the, special copied is not con
tradicted. This is pronounced an ab
solute lie and rot by Mr. A. H. Boy
den, of Salisbury, who is indignant
that such things are copied by South
ern papers. It is well known that the
New York Sun hates Mr. Cleveland
and stops at nothing that it thinks will
injure or humilate him, havinc no re
ran j,n its attacks upon the Pres
ident for either truth or decency.
Mr. Boyden is just home from New
England. While away he visited Mr.
Samuel I). Warren, of Boston, at his
summer home on Board's Bay. Mr.
Warren's cottage is 8 or io miles
below Gray Gables, and Mr. Boyden
remarked one day that he would be
glad to pay his respects to Mr. Cleve
land before returning home. Mr.
Warren assented to this arrangement
an4 a day or two thereafter announced
that the time for going had arrived.
Being called to Boston on business Mr.
Warren could not accompany Mr. Boy
den, but gave him a letter of introduc
tion to Mr. Cleveland and sent his
son along with him. The party con
sisting of Mr. and Mrs. Boyden and
young Mr. Warren, sailed for Gray
Gables, reaching Mr. Cleveland's
private dock about 11:30 o'clock.
Cards were sent to the house and a
very prompt response came bacl sta
ting that Mr. Cleveland, was down at
the bay fishing but that the ladies
would be glad to receive them. An
hour or more was spent very pleasantly.
There was no stiffness or formality
about the reception, but it was cordial
and hearty.
Not a single man was seen on the
grounds by Mr. Boyden, and the de
tective and guard story is without
foundation. Had there been any he
would have seen them, for he sailed up
to Mr. Cleveland's dock, anchored the
boat and landed without notice of any
kind being sent ahead. Mr. Cleve
land is not isolated at Gray Gables,
nor is he exclusive or unaproachable.
Many other homes are near his, he
visits and receives visits from his neigh
bors and is easily approached. The
humblest citizen can gain access to the
home of Mr. Cleveland and will re
ceive courteous treatment. In view of
this fact the lies told about the Pres
ident and his wife are nauseating and
disgusting. Salisbury HeraU.
Reviving Enterprise,
fUrnhani (Meaner)
U would hardly be putting it too
strong to say that there has scarcely
ever been such a business upheaval in
this country, especially in the South,
as is going on now. It is not an up
heaval that is tearing up business, but
one that is increasing business. Of
voarse the lassitude for two years has
had much to do with the revival in
the premises.
Look where you will and you see
new manufacturing interprises spring,
ing up, especially is this true in cotton
mauulacturmg. Turn your face to
the north and west and you see iron
and steel works increasing wages
which has become a daily occurrence,
until nearly every one of them more
than once. And it should be remem
bered right here that the iron and
steel men were among those who
howled the loudest about the ruin that
3 lover tarin would inflict. But
democratic tariff reduction, a tariff
for a revenue, came and the country's
industries are set agoing as never be
fore. And in it all is demonstrated
the truth that low wages and business
stagnation do not pecsariiy follow

MUKDKRS IN THK SOUTH.
Mr. Charles S. Heard, the Seaboard
Air-Line representative at Aupusta.
has a card in the New York Evening
Post in which he protests against that
paper's sweeping statements in regard
to the South's alleged murder record.
Mr. Heard says that his business
relations for the past few years have
brought him closely in touch with the
XSorth and West, and with raanv set
tlers from those sections in the South.
and he has yet to find one of them
who has not altered his ODinion con
cerning the murderous spirit which
many Northern papers claim is nreva-

doubts whether the murders in the
South are more numerous in propor
tion to population than elsewhere in
the country. In conclusion the Posfs
correspondent says:
U't me extend to you and vrmrromWi.
a cordial invitation to come South, to
(ieorgia eeeia!!y,and see for yourselves.

living than they ever made in their life
and who will attest to this over their

This is on the right line and is sus
tained by the facts of the case. It is
frequently said and we believe it to be
true, that no Southern State has in a
year as many murders as occur in the
city of New York in that period. Most
of our crimes of violence are committed
by negroes. The prison statistics show
a very small percentage of white crim
inals in this section as compared with
the Northern States, and yet it is well
known that our courts are rigid to an
extreme in carrying out the law.
The Northern whites who have set
tled here rarely ever leave the South.
They find hospitable neighbors, good
schools and churches and a system of
law and order under which they feel
that they are as amply protected as
they would be anywhere on the con
tinent, These Northern residents of
the South are better qualified to judge
of the situation than the outsiders who
have gained their information about
the South at second hand, and some
times from unfriendly sources.
Exact statistics are not obtainable,
but the prison records show that the
South has no more murders than are
committed in the North. Atlanta

Rules For Successful Farming-.
I North Carolina Farmer,
i st. Never purchase land on credit,
unless it be in a new country in which
values rise rapidly.
2d. Keep no more live stock than
you can keep in good condition.
3d. Never allow your stock to suffer
from cold by housing them in open
buildings. Comfortable quarters saves
one-fourth of the feed.
4th. If your farm is so large that
you can not cultivate all of it to ad
vantage, nor keep it well fenced, sell
a part of it and put the money on in
terest, lou will save a great deal of
care and make more money than if all
of it be planted and poorly culti
vated. 5th. Look well to your orchards,
remembering that it costs no more to
make apples at 50 cents a bushel than
to make those that sell for 12 cents
each.
6th. Keep none but the best im
plements, of which you can take good
good care. When not in use keep
them from exposure to weather and
rogues.
;th. Always keep stable or lot work
on hand for a rainy day. For this
purpose it is better to provide a
suitable workshop with an abundance
of suitable tools. Rainy days properly
employed would result in the greatest
profit. Good farmers never will lack
for work.
8th. When a piece of work needs
heing done, do it now; and when you
do it, do it well.

opportunity to show his power of ver
satility. Winston Sentinel.
It is announced that Mr. W. R.
Henry, of Henderson, is soon io begin
making Populist speeches. Mr. Henry
made fine Democratic speeches in the
last campaigns. We are sorry his dis
appointment at failure to get an office
caused him to leave the party. He
deserved an office, but that does not
justify his present course. Kinston
Free Press.
We never expected to see the gal
lant Walter Henry become a Rep-Pop,
after his noble fight against the mon
grels, but the desire for an office is so
strong in his breast, that alone must
be the cause. He failed to get it in
the Democratic ranks, and conse
quently has gone over to "me own
sweet Maryann." Oxford Public
Ledger.
The statement comes that Mr. W.
R. Henry will take the stump for the
Populist party. He has heretofore
been a Democrat. He applied for a
position and didn't get it. He then
wrote a long letter, laboriously proving
that he had been badly treated. Since
that letter the Populists have been
angling for Mr. Henry, and we are
not in the least surprised that they
have caught him. Now is a good time
for political crafts to tack. Monroe
Journal.
It has been given ouf through the
papers recently that Mr. Walter R.
Henry will espouse the cause of the
Populists and will make speeches for
them. His friends in the Democratic
party regret to see him take this step.
The party loses a strong man if he
goes, and he canwot hope for much
from the Populists. They will remem
ber his bitter speeches against them
during the last two campaigns.
We hope there is a mistake in the
statement that he will go with the
Populists. Scotland Neck Democrat.
Walter R. Henry, of Henderson,
who was a Cleveland elector, but who
failed to get an appointment from the
administration, has joined the Pops
and will soon begin to make populist
speeches. Of course if Henry had got
an appointment he would now be as
good a Democrat as anybody. We
notice that all of the fellows wjio got
appointments are shouting for the ad
ministration with all the lung power
they can command. We have no re
spect for the fellows who are Dem
ocrats for revenue only. Every nom
inee for elector next year should be
made to pledge himself that he will
not be a candidate for office if the party
wins the fight. Mt. Airy News.
The Globe regrets to see Walter R.
Henry of Henderson go over to the
Populists. He has done some hard
work for Democracy, and we think
was entitled to the office he sought; but
the false step he now takes puts an un
favorable aspect upon his former zeal.
Every man has a right to seek an
office, and all who want one do it, but
it should be the incident and not the
motive for the support of party. There
has eeen a terrible abuse of the pat
ronage belonging to the Democrats
of North Carolina, and Mr. Henry
was one of the victims, but he should
have gone to work the harder to show
the world, lhough justly sore, he worked
for principle. Had Vance county
been Democratic, Walter, and had you
an uncle Tunning for the last Legisla
ture, you might have "got there." But
such is life. Good bye, Walter!
Durham Globe.
Walter R. Henry wrote his farewell
letter denouncing the Democratic
party three months ago. The article
is said to be characteristic of Henry
and as usual is foaming at the mouth
of adjectives. The blast will con
sume eight columns in the Caucasian
Buck Kitchin never was a match for
Henry in his denunciations of the
"vagaries of Populism" and "rascality
of Radicals," Mr. Henry has talked
Democracy until he melted his collars
down. His denunciation of' the vaga.
ries of Populism has been so heated
that he had to remove his collar,
and now that Mr. Henry hangs his
beaver in the Pop household shows
very clearly that he did not know
what he was talking about or else he
was talking for pie. Raleigh Press.

to the Populist-Republican party. He
has been a "prominent Democrat'
and had he been able to get the office
he wanted he would be a Democrat

fact which has been so apparent in
North Carolina, that the strongest par
tisans are the first to desert. When

When Walter Henry made a speech in
the last campaign he held up the very
people whom he has now joined as the
most arrant knaves and demagogues
ever known. Wilson Advance.
So Mr. W. R. Henry, of Henderson
nas gone into tne ropuiist ranks and
will canvass for the Ocala fellows. If
they unite with the Rads, and canvass
for the mastery in North Carolina we
think that Mr. Henry would find that
his hot Democratic speeches of last
year will be a rather entangling
alliance. Those fierce and furious
Democratic speeches will never be at
peace with the efforts of Populist flavor
and inspiration. It will be impossible
to reconcile the past and present, how
ever earnest and ingenious the plea.
Mr. Henry has talents and it would b:
better to "abide in the ship" rather
than to take the leap into tempestuous
enguipning waters, we regret to see
his course, and because of his own in
terests. Stand by the old Democratic
ship and help win the harbor. Wil

In this day of political flapdoodle-
ism, mere is only a moment s surprise
1 .a
when some knight, posing as thecham
pion of a political party, suddenly spurs
Irom the side of the party to which he
has sworn allegiance, and crossingover
the field where he has laid low many
a political enemy, throws at the feet of
his heretofore enemies, the manhood,
the courage and principles which have
sustained him in many a battle against
these same enemies, whose cause he
now enters. I he political flop of
Walter R. Henry, from Democracy to
populism is a pitiful spectacle to his
every sincere friend. It is an exhi
union humilating and disgraceful. It
signifies that sordid spirit which must

Democratic party, the party would be

friends, and be prepared to fight open
toes and not become cankered by pre
tended friends. Southport Leader.
I he Sun is not losing any sleep
over the pronunciamento of Walter R
Henry, severe as it may appear, and
his departure from the Democratic
party. Men may come and men may
go, but the old party lives on just the
same. Just as good and just as able
men have left us before but it did not
kill the Democratic party. Back in
the early 8o's Col. Patrick Henry
Winston, of illustrious North Carolina
memory, conceived the idea that the
government rested upon his shoulders
ana mat me democratic party was
not a fit place for him and with a long
pronunciamento he bid us a lengthy
farewell. But the State did not turn
upside down. Patrick Henry is now
out West and his siren voice is no
longer heard upon the hustings in
North Carolina. His influence went
with him. We hope Mr. Henry will
share a better political fate, and while
he goes to work for the Popu
lists in the eleventh hour, he will get a
good, fine, large, fat office, and that
he will find no traitors, or treachery
whatever, among his new allies. Hope
he'll find them all perfect saints, ready
to be translated to glory and may
they go before they become messed up

making "good bargains" he had filled
his house with antiquated and almost
useless articles. Upon one occasion

Great was her dismay when, on the

CRIMSON CLOVER.
THE GREAT MORTGAGE LIFTER OF THE
FARM.
A Crop that is Easily Grown and Very
Profitable An Enricher of the Soil
and a Splendid Feed for Stock
Every Farmer Should Raise it.
TW. M. King, of Virginia, in American Ag
riculturist. 1
Great as is the demand for seed just
now, the supply seems ample at just
halfthe price it commanded two years
ago. What alfalfa has done for the
farmers in California and Colorado
wherever irrigation is necessary or
practicable, crimson clover is likely to
do, proving equally acceptable as an
important crop in the South Atlantic
States. In these its value for fertilizing
purposes, for soiling, and for hay, is
not likely to be overestimated. For
these purposes it leads even the cow
pea. The only advantage that the cow
pea has over the clovers is that it will
grow and attain a height of two feet
or more, while even the crimson clover
would not attain a height of more than
six to eight inches. Still on a soil
that can not be successfully seeded
with grass, the crimson clover succeeds
admirably. A very marked advan
tage of the latter is that during the
first six months of its growth it pro
duces a much greater bulk of roots
than the common seed clover.
In these hurrying, pushing times,
one cannot afford two give two years'
time to the culture of red clover, when
but half of the time will be required
for the accomplishment of the same
result with the now indispensable
crimson clover. Another advantage
this clover possesses is that it does not
interfere with any other crop, and in
this respect it is distinctly American,
or independent. Sown, as it may be,
with a tomato, potato, or corn crop at
the last working, the seeding is com
paratively inexpensive. The growth of
the clover plant is such that when the
winter season arrives it acts as a mulch
on the land, and measurably prevents
washing the great drawback to soil
improvement in the south and in the
following spring the growth is much
more rapid and abundant than that of
the red varieties.
The importance of keeping the
ground covered with a dense crop like
crimson clover to prevent the growth
of annual weeds after potato, corn and
garden crops have been removed, can
not be overestimated. It is true that
these annual weeds may be of some
value for fertilizer, and may to some
extent prevent washing of the soil, but
in both these respects they are vastly
inferior to crimson clover, and, have
very injurious effect in spreading
their seeds about the farm. Properly
used, crimson clover is likely to prove
one of the farmer's best weapons for
fighting weeds. When grown thickly
it will, to a considerable extent, choke
down even the nut sedge. On the
other hand care should betaken to sow
only pure seed, as most of our perni
cious weeds are introduced and dis
tributed more in clover than by any
other artificial means.
Another important consideration in
favor of this clover is its value for hay.
When properly cured and it is more
easily cured than the mammoth variety
of red clover it has been found to
contaip about twice as much protein
or flesh and muscle forming food per
100 pounds as hay from the very best
grasses, and is worth fully one-fourth
more for feeding than ordinary hay.
fhe cultivation of this clover for seed
has heretofore been quite profitable,
and this is likely to contiuue to a con-
iderable degree for years to come.
fhe seed matures quite early, and if
cut high and both stubble and roots
arc plowed under its value both for
seed and fertilizing purposes places it
ahead of all other plants of which I
have any knowledge. At the present
prices of crimson clover, no farmer

A comedian in a French theatre
once made a great hit out of a painful
accident. One day, while indulging
in a bit of horse-play on the stage he
hit his head violently entirely an acci
dent, against one ol the pillars of the
scene on the stage. On hearing the
thud everybody uttered a cry. "No
great harm done," said the comedian.
"Just hand me a napkin, a glass of
water, and a salt-cellar." These were
brought, and he sat down, folded the
napkin in the form of a bandage, dip
ped it in the glass, and empted the
salt-cellar on the wet part. Having
thus prepared a compress according to
prescription, and when every one ex
pected he would apply it to his fore
head, he gravely rose and tied it
around the pillar. The effect of his
action was such that every one set
him down as the readiest and wittiest
man in his urofession.

The North Carolina Railroad Lea.se.
LMorganton Herald J
The directors of the North Carolina
Railroad, in defiance of public opin
ion, last Friday leased it to the South
ern for a term of ninety-nine years.
The rental secured is but a trifle in ad
vance of that paid by the Richmond
and Danville twenty years ago, when
the business of the line was not a third
of its present volume. It is incum
bent on the gentlemen who acted in
this matter as trustees for the icople i
ol the State to explain their action.
They cannot ignore the fact that they
have trampled upon popular sentiment,
and this can only be justified by show
ing that they have best preserved the
interests of the public. They have
parted with the control of a great ar
tery of commerce for a consideration
apparently inadequate. They have
done this six years before the expira
tion of the old lease and without invit
ing bids from any other rairoad. They
made the lease for ninety-nine years,
the longest period mentioned in con
nection with the transaction. They
have delivered up North Carolina to
the tender mercies of a powerful cor
poration that will, if it keeps on crush
ing rival lihes and then buying them
in for a song, soon have a monopoly
of the southern freight and passenger
traffic. They have delivered the keys
of the State to a powerful alien syndi
cate that will attempt to control the
politics of the State and that has the
history of such great railroads as the
Pennsylvania and the Union Pacific as
a warrant for the belief that it will suc
ceed. The burden is upon the direc
tors and His Excellency, the Governor
of the State, who sanctioned the lease.
to prove that their action has been
necessary for the public welfare. What
ever the demands of the private stock
holders, a great State invested its mil
lions in this enterprise with some other
view than getting a six or seven per
cent, dividend on its stock. There
may be provisions in the lease that
will compensate the people sacrifice of
their independence. There may have
been dire disasters that threatened,
which the directors foresaw and which
their precipitate action averted. If
there were, the trustees for the people
owe it to themselves and to the State
to render an account. The case is
against them as it stands to-day.
h KN KY'S DEFECTION.
A careful observer of men and events
in North Carolina remarked to us not
long ago that Walter R. Henry, of
Henderson, was getting ready to
make a break for the Populist camp
and was only watching a favorable op
portunity to form a new alliance. We
happened to know that Mr. Henry was
nursing a very sore head, was sulking
in his tent and had soured on some of
the leaders of the Democratic party,
particularly Minister Ransom. Still
we were hardly prepared to credit the
statement of his abandoning the prin
ciples of Democracy which he has so
eloquently advocated on the stump.
But the world of politics is full of sur
prises. His flop to Populism is now
an accomplished fact. Mr. Henry
was a talented young lawyer of Hen
derson and if he had adhered to the
practice of his profession, instead of
hunting for a party which would de
light to honor him to an office, he
might be now enjoying the success for
which he is evidently well-fitted. It
is to be regretted that a young man of
Mr. Henry's ability would give up the
sure rewards incident to the practice
of the law to engage in the uncertain
game of politics. We really pitied
him when we heard of his hanging
around Washington trying to get an
office. He was unsuccessful and feels
his disappointment keenly. Instead
of being able to realize that he is a
young man and can afford to bide his
time in the party he feels called upon to
make some, kind of spectacle of him
self and takes no warning from such
men as old man Buck Kitchen.
He
. ..
"jines the lopulists, exacting to
get balm for his sore spots and to re
venge himself upon the Democratic
party because it has not been quick to
recognize him in some substantial way
for hifservices. There are older and
better workers in the party than Mr.
Henry, who have been stood off for
years without hope or promise of re
ward. We would have been glad to
have seen him supplied in some way,
but now that it looks like he was seek
ing an office more than the tiiumph of
Democratic principles we are not able
to say we are sorry because he didn't
get something and is now a Populist
shouter. Reidsville Review.
