Tte American Farmer is pleas ,4,.w,tPt.he interest and euthn- :thfi bill . ,.-.. ,i no?t check - carren - The demand far this great enieaoe is being evidenced by fejters from farmers and business jjieu ai!ti in editorials in newspap er ail over the country. The post elck svstem provides paper mon ev printed in such a way that it j v be used as a check for its tace tfloa. To illustrate; Tiicie are hundreds of things a furaier aunts to send money for, phaps to the store at the county "ow instead of taking a1 IlKrv and going to town at the fspenJrtf time and money, he .waid Ifce vr.v m":lch to send tUe E.)Wn- and get what he wants kvk lv a p.eighlw or by mail. I'nder the -'- .t check plan he ouM take oat his money, write ike Mine ol the storekeeper on thej "Col. Ham" Waiits to Know. Now. that the Legislature of North Carolina has adjourned and hasbeeome a tiling of the past, there are some few things I would, like to know. I am reading the Ripple, Union Republican, States ville Landmark, News aad Obser ver, New York World and a host of other papers and through read- : Ing of them I learn that some of the members of the last Legislature were so dishonorable and so given over to reprobaey of min i ai to get drunk and stay druuk during the whole session, and that the ex tension of the incoporate limits of Yadkinville was refused, aud that "Williams" in Yadkin county was incorporated with N. Glen Will iams Mayor. Now. the few things that I want to know are: WThat. are the names of the inebriate members of the late Legislature and what county do they represent? Where is Will iams, and who is N. Glen Willia ins, the mayor! Is he the Nitro Glycerine Hicockalorum that walk ed into a stor e in Wj uston-Salem some time ago aud cow hided A. E. Hoi ton without a moment's warning and without visable cause? Is he a tool in the hands of Demo cracy designated to use the cow hide on Mr. Holton in retaliation for bringing up an indictment iu the Federal court against those election officers two years ago. By so doing did he make himself so near and dear to the Democratic party that the last Legislature had to reward bin) for his gallantry : i x ai i i a muted on the face, lini orponue me mue piace oi illiams v. itu himself mayor? I);es he run a distillery of his vrl a two -cent pos- artaeii au!

Its Hie is :scv ntiuued in one way and a lie .v I i i'e saris. If he makes a hhvAct in wiling, he puts on a tweeut stamp, cancels it, goes or femisJi the postoftice and gets a m-oe iu its place, aud this pro e?s may b - repeated until thf ad tLs is cui-jtiy written. The f.)veruir.cat secures a two-cent ke m the letter, it secure tsro eejts on e:ir-h bill made into a check, where if the farmer made the jonruey at his own loss, i would be also that much loss of revenue to the government. The advantages aud economies of d-iitig bu-niness by mail are be ing realized more and more, and this branch of business is increas es;: with the rapidity which its importance demands. How ranch simpler aud more popular could this purchasing by mail be made sltould tiie past cheek system be Copied. It provides a perfect'y safe aad economical plan of send in? money through the mail at a minimum ext to the sender and Without l he least inconvenience, as attends the sendi ig of a money order to-day.

Wash i ngton Gazette-Messenger : One of our leading farmers remark ed this morning that the question of labor and the securing of suffi cient number of the hands to run a crop was fast becoming a serious matter. Last yeai at least half of the pea crop rotted in the fields for the want of hands to gather them, and so many of the negroes were leaving the country and mov ing to town, unless the farmers can secure labor from abroad, it looked as if it will be useless to pita h a crop. Rewards for White Caps. Memphis, Tenn., Jan 24. Gov ernor Longino of Mississippi this morning issued a proclamation offering a reward of 530 each for thearrescand conviction of white caps. The rewards are limited to $10,000 in any county. The trou bles are serious. Negroes are be ing forced by the hundreds to leave the lands they have occupied for years. Whera did the members of the Legislature get their liquor? 1 heai da sober man of prominence say that he w;is iu Raleigh two days during the last sessi n of the Legislature and it was surprising to see the Pages going out and bringing in bottles of liquor to the members, I am a sober, law-biding citizen and I perfer that sober, conservative men oe selected hen ceforth to make- laws, instead of a set of draukv-m reprobates. Will just say that if Yadkinville wants any favors from a Democratic Legislature, she will have to have within her limits a cow hider. Col, Ham, iu Yadkin Ripple next Congress will adopt it.

At a recent meeting of the Mi chigan Lumberman's Association held in Detroit the following re solutiou was passed without a dis senting vote: "Resolved. That we extend to the Michigan forestry commission our cordial and active assistance iu its worthy endeavor to secure the necessary legislation which hasi for its object the development of a rational and effective system of forestry on the vast areas of laud belonging to the Slate which are not adapted to successful agricul ture, and pledge the commission that we will bring to bear all the influence we can control to impress our representees at Lansing with the importance of this matter and the necessity for immediate action." It soems that lumbermen are be gining to realize that there has been too much stripping and not enough building up of the forest lands. The wealth of many of the Northern States lies largely in the great tracts of forest lands, and for years there has been an im mense drain on these, with but little attempt to repair the losses. The action of this association will prove of great assistance to Michi gan forestry, and it 'may set au ex ample to other States. Th3 gov ernment should be encouraged in forming forest reservations on con dition it doe3 not unjustly interfere with any rightful private interest. American Farmer. It Saved His Leg. P. A.
