MAT PREPARE A MANIFESTO.
Movement Among Business Men
And Others to Emphasize Settle
ment of the Negro Question by
Voting the Republican National
Ticket.. ,
Washington Post,
' The situation in North Carolina, as be
tween Mr. McKinley and Mr. Bryan, is
ensracrinir some attention among well-in
formed politicians in these parts. No one
is quite ready to say mat tne Tar ueeis
will desert the Democratic column, ai
though the story was brought to this city
some days ago that there was an agree
ment between Republicans and Demo
crats, made a considerable tame ago,
that the amendment sbouid be carried in
August and North Carolina's electoral
vote delivered to Mr.McKinley m JNovera
ber. That story has been told quietly,
but with great emphasis, here of late.
It has not carried conviction that any
such agreement has actually existed, but
it has convinced some people that there
is a strong tendency among some North
Carolina Democrats to fall in line for tbe
Republican ticket. . v s
As corroborating sucb a situation, it is
learned from North Carolinians who are
in the confidence of political parties that
there is a movement among the Demo
crats down there to issue a manifesto
within a few days declaring their prefer
ence,' now that the negro has been re
moved as an issue from (State politics, In
favor of Mr. HcKinley. Details of the
men and of their influence in various
North Carolina communities cannot now
be given, but steps have actually been
taken to that end, with prospects of suc
cessful culmination. -;'
The clamOr from some parts of the
State that further agitation of the negro
question by Democratic organs should
cease has its origin largely with men who
are in sympathy with this McKinley
movement, and who, realizing some of
the benefits that protection has brought
to the State, want to see political divis
ions on industrial questions and national
politics, rather than on: race- issues.
Whatever comes of tbe movement, it is
regarded as significant of the sentiment
in the Old North State. - -
Mr. Bryan's majority there four years
ago was 19,260. While very few people ;
believe that there are enough North Car
olina Democrats supporting McKinley to
insure the eleven electoral votes for him,
there are a large number who appreciate
the great industrial growth of the State,
and who, in political sympathies, it is de
clared, belong of right in the Republican
party. . ' '

Experiment In Spvarlmr. y
A correspondent of The Farmers Ad
vocate gives the cost of spraying last
year, five aerer. of -apple orchard, 250
trees that have been 20 years planted
and are well grown. - lie sprayed them
three times, using each time 11 barrel
of 40 gallons each of bordeaux mixture
and pari green.' In the 33 barrels he
used 132 pounds of copper sulphate at
7 cents a pound, $9.24; two bushels of
lime, 40 cents; 84 pounds parts green
at 25 cents a pound, $2.07; a cost for
material of $11.71, nearly 4 cents per
ti-ee. It .took three days' . labor of a
man and! boy at each spraying, which
is not as quick work as many claim to
do, but we think, would be likely to re
sult la thorough work. lie says the
outlay was small compared to the per
centage of clean fruit obtained. He
advises the use of a brass pump or one

while scientists often claim that the
food will not affect the quality of the
milk practical dalrvmen assert that it
does anJ more oerhans when the cows
are in pasture than when on dry food.
Those engnged In cheese making say
that more care is needed In manufac
turing cheese from the milk of cattle in
rich pastcrcs than In poor pastures.
