I beg t- submit that no writer on the ne gro question whiwe article ha come to my notice Lou t nu lled Ihe real, vital ami pressing nej problem which we i f this good day have to Uf. Th.it problem, as every man or wonun wh U put upon his voir dire will swear, is three fold : 1. I low to get a competent negro w m.m in the kitchen. 2. How to get and keep a kind and trustworthy negro woman in the nur pei v. J How to get and keep plenty of negroes iri the cotton patch. Now. a I am a lawyer and have never Uvn a candidate, I have had no means of acquiring sufficient knowledge of agriculture to entitle ine to Ih' heard iiKn the cotton patch pnHition. but on the kitchen and imrscrv question I can sumK a one having authority." It U nail nnmirh f..r itnr nla lat-anian. nho pi lulu tlir future fur a. human va rnn era and for our shrewd o!itiei.iiis, who dip only as far as the next election, to indulge in Icarued theories about the negro as a tnn-iat and political factor in our midst. Rut, sir, the real negro question is not political, is not ixx'ial; it is domestic. The fear of the negro which is ever before the eyes of the women of to day is thai said negro will not turn up in time to "edit the gravy depart ment" in the morning. The negro who is on the nerves of the men of this hour, and who is causing their heads to gray, "but not with years," is the one whom we seek eagerly but do not find at her post in the nur sery ; and consequently, the pious men of this country, contrary to their religious scruples, are forced in the uncanny hours of the night to do ikirt dance stunts to the bellicose lamentations of their latest born. These, sir, are living, wide awake questions; questions which vitally a licet the health, wealth, morals and religion of the laud; and unless they are solved and .that right quickly, our agricultural industries will wane, our churches will be filled with men w ho have lost the Inst vestige of their religion; those evil-minded lawyers who run the divorce mills will feed and fatten on excess of toll, and the ancient and honorable institution of marriage will fall into disrepute and disfavor among the people. "O whv illil IMnali funny Wlitwi nr mi waiitnl her hi winy " is a song ns full of pathos as the mournful "Song of the Shirt.'"' .Mr. hid itnr, we need the negro in our business. He suits the South and the South suits him, and the man who says a word to engender strife and prejudice between us is an ene my of both races. The only fangs the negro ever had consisted of bal lots and those were artistically and scientifically extracted by the consti tutional amendment; and Unlay they ire as a people, harmless as blind puppies. A hundred while men in this county can easily and without strife and without friction keep them exactly where they belong. There are three of these people on my place, and my four-year-old boy fan and rWs rule every one, of them as absolutely as a Czar. Any one of them would fight to the last ditch for him, and I would not swap them Consumption Salt pork is a famous old fashioned remedy for con sumption. "Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 1 00 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most, Scott's Emulsion Is the mod. ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats,v especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophps? phites. in Scott's Enjulsion) that puts new Jifij into th weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs.

Thb Youth's Companion, 114 llerkcley St., Boston, Mass ff for any other lalxir on earth, Mr. 'oh n Temple Craves is a brilliant orator ; but I submit, when he talks about exporting my oook and your nurse, he is undermining the very foundations of society, and an in junction should be sued out against him requiring him to shut up. In s recent Issue of your paper you said, speaking of the negro question, that "nobody's opinion is worth much." You were absolutely correct, and why ? For the very same and very sutlicient reason that nobody's opin ion would be worth much as to what sort of timber the North Pole is made of. The fruitful writers on this subject violate every principle of logic by assuming the existence of a condition in the South which is ab solutely non-existent I repeat, there is no political or social negro prob lem. Those questions are res adju- dicata. We have fixed the negro's bounds and determined his habita tion in perfect accord with his nature and necessities, and in the place as signed him he is, as a race, content to dwell. The constitutional amend ment put him out of commission po litically, and there is no sort of trouble shout his social status. It is as hard for a white man to get into a social pew for which he is not sched uled as it is tor a camel to do the needle act, and there need be no fear a lain t the negro's doing so. I insist that North Carolina, and most of the Southern States, have settled these questions wisely and welj; that we are in no sort of trouble about them; and if the penny-a-liners in the North persist in getting ex cited and turning red in the face and saying bad words about a negro problem down here, then they will simply occupy the ridiculous posi tion of the man who went into con- ulsions because he dreamed that his neighbor had the colic. Tlio only wuy the negro can be come a problem is lor newspaper and magazine writers to keep on call ing him one. If there is not s let-up along this line, the negro will after a while deny that lie is a negro and insist tliat he is a problem. All men know that the press is all powerful, and I submit that, if the Southern press will at once begin to deny ve hemently that we have a negro prob lem in the South; if it will daily call sharp attention to the peaceful and harmonious relations which actually exist between the races; if it will pub lish in big headlines that the South are the best friends the negroes have in the world, and that ninety and nine of the negroes fully understand this and appreciate it if the press will adopt this course I will go bond that in a year the negro problem, so called, will be no more heard of. Every one at all familiar with the construction of political platforms knows that it is just as easy to"pnint with pride" as it is to "view with alarm. It requires no greater strain upon the conscience to "congratu late than it does to "deplore. . And I suggest the following plank to be incorporated in the platform adopted by the next Democratic State con tention: "We point with pride to the peaceful and friendly relations which exist between the whites and blacks in North Carolina. We congratulate the people that the Democratic party has in its wisdom and virtue removed all cause for prejudice and bad feel ing between the noes by eliminating the negro from politics, and we con gratulate the negro for recognising that this was done for his ultimate good and for quietly submitting to the new order of things.

To the KrillMT The Juuraal : Rural free deliverv route No. I is coinimtwd of rts of seven public mads, ltsentire length is30J miles. It ennui's four envk over live bridges, and one crock which has no bridge at present. There are J5 mail boxes to be served, and an iinlclinite nuniU-r of Hag stations where the carrier is liable to be called dVwn for variixis purposes. The patrons and carrier get along very nicely, and if you hear am thtng to the contrary' vou may just say tlutt it is a mistake and must refer lo some other route. In passing over route No. 1 you ass bv six churches and nine schml houses and a host of as good coplf as live anywhere. They may not have as much book learning as some folks, but they have ordered the lsks; anil a man up in .Monroe liv the name of Reaslcy, or something like that, is doing all he can to help them ealc! up with the citv folks. Si vou had just as well put us down in the front ranks, for we are coiniii!. The first month there were I.3H0 piioes of mail handled ; the last month about l,(KX). So you see we are not losing ground. Rural free delivery is the biggest lung that Cncle Sam has ever done for the country eople, and the only people that do not apprn'iate it (that have common sense) an' the ones that do not have it. All intelligent peo ple in town and country are glad that the day has come when the hitherto isolated farmer has close connection with the citv's business world. It makes country life less lonely. It is a great educator. There are Ixivs on this route not more tljm half an hour" high, that can order anything they want fimn anywhere; while their grandfathers, under the old regime, would have to go to a lawyer or merchant to do the same thing. Rural delivery has many strong friends, llusiness men and the intelligent men of all professions. and first of all the editors of our hval paiM'rs, have shown a very commend able spirit in favoring rural free de livery. If the editors of local paK'rs had been narrow and selfish, they would have opiosed it, for fear the big dailies would crowd them out; but I am glad that it has had the contrary effect. Kach of tho three county paK-rs that arc distributed on this route have doubled their sub scription lisls since the service com menced. Jy the way, 1 reckon the editors are a right clever set of fel lows after all, although they will tell tales both in and out of school. Sometimes a thing happens to a fel low that he would rather not know himself ; but the tirst thing he knows the editor has got it and published it to the world. Some say you must not believe everything you see in the papers ; but as to that I hope you will excuse me from expressing an opinion (in writing), for tho editors and 1 are on mighty good terms, so fax as I know. I think well of them, but if I were to tell my opinion of what they say about a man getting drowned and ono thing and another, they might get mad and raise a fuss with me. And let me tell you, there are two classes of people that I want no fuss with. The first is a woman. 1 know she could out talk me so far it would not be a fair light. The other is an editor, who I am told has a real live devil employed to do his dirty work ! That's what they say, but don't tell tlit m nothing about w hat I said, for we are mighty good friends, and I was only tolling what the other follow said, anyhow, Alciu. Revolution Imminent.

Sully A Co., bankers snd broken of New York and experts in lie cotton business, have published a kwg li-tter in which they admit that cotton is going to twenty-five cents a pound before many crops more liave been made. But their rea son f"T this, as for the shortness of tlie present crop, is a little out of the usual. They say : "Paradoxical as it may seem, the curtailment of the cotton crop is a natural result of the growth of the cotton seed industry. A quarter of a century go the cotton seed was the bane of the cotton planter, lie had great difficulty in getting rid of his surplus seed. It was burned, cast into the rivers, used to fill gullies and hollows and hauled away at no little ex 'nue. But since the discov ery 11 t:i uses of cotton seed oil, cot ton stiil hulls and cotuui ivu urn,, the demand for tlie seed has grown to great pnrt ions. The Smth is dotted with cotton seed oil mills, and what was once regarded as refuse now brings nearly $100,(X0,tl a year to the South. This would be a magnificent asset were it not for tlie fact that the oil mills demand the heaviest and richi'st of the seed, leaving only the poorest for the planter to put liack in the ground for the planting of his next crop. The fierceness of competition is such and the prices paid for seed are so large that within the last five or six years the planters have impoverished their seed supply to the utmost limit. nr seed brings a lioor cotton yield. Increased acreage is no remedy, even if it were possible under present con- .litinns to extend the acreage much beyond its present limits." It is news to us that the smallness f the crop is due to poor seed. We have thought it was due to poor ind, poor cultivation and unfavor able weather. Can some of our prac tical fanners give some light on this subject ? Rector of St. Luke's, ASHlll'KNHAM, OUT., TUSTIHM TO TMIi GOOD Ol'ALITIKI or CHAMHtlLAtN ' COIT.H RKMEDY.
