As erqp gathering proceeds th in teresting question is emerging to every thoughtful fanner : "How much will my net income be ?" How many of our farmers have so con ducted their operations for the year that tliey can tell, when the crops shall have been hauled off the fields and wejghed and measured, how much their loss or gain has been by the yearf operations Z We, fear not many. Yet the importance omch business conduc as wilj enable $he farmer Jp determine this vital ques tion, can not be overestimated. All other business ventures wherein sue ces3i is expected and attained, re quire it. The busineis of farming Remands it as truly and emphatical ly as ally ptber. If books were kept by the farmers with the accuracy that is exercised in other depart ments of industry, more instances of success would be observed. It is pne of the fruitful causes of failure among farmers that they do not keep a faithful record of their outgo and income, so as to be informed about their gains or losses as the years pass. Many of them are losing, year by year, while thinking that they are making money. ANOTHER DISGRACE. The Lexington lynching adds an other disgrace to the State. Our law has once more been ignored and a crowd of men become "guilty of the black crime of murder ; for murder it is, and no reason can disprove it. It is a fearful matter when one man takes the law in his own hands and puts a fellow-citizen to death whether the penalty is deserved or not. But it is a far more fearful thing when a crowd of men deliber ately meet and put one of their fellow-citizens to death in cold blood. And such a deed becomes more fearful if the government of the State fails to use all the power with which it is clothed by the sovereign people to visit the high handed per petrators, however many in number and however decorous in social standing, with the condign punish ment prescribed by the laws of the State for such criminals. The deed is an infraction of existing and known law. Shall the law be en forced? It must be. The conse quences of such subversions of the fundamental rights of the people are too .dreadful to be tolerated. No State can allow the scales of justice to be swayed by the ebullitions of indignant passion. The safety, per sonal liberty and life, as well as the security ot property' rights, hinge upon the maintenance of the law in all its majesty as an expression of the sovereign will. It is not easy to im agine a more powerful blew against the power of law to protect than the continuance of the murderers in the State, untried and unpunished, who so blackened the criminal annals of North Carolina at Lexington on Monday night of last week. rhat the Governor and all beneath him in authority and power will do in the matte; remains to be seen. If they will not enforce the law and bring the offenders to justice, or try to do so with all the powers with which bey are clothed and with all the faithfulness which their oaths of of fice impose, then, in th.e name o every interest dear to the people and grounded upon right, let them resign. Narrow Escape of a Child.

Send to The Rocket effice for lob Priot- AN UNMANLY FLING, Gov. Hill, of Itfew York, while on his recent trip to the sunny South and upon ground where hjs great rival, Grover Cleveland, stood and addressed the people two years ago, gave utterance to a remark which has been construed, properly we think, as a fling at our ex-President. The Charlotte Chronicle was the first to call public attention to it. It occurred at "Chattanooga, and there mark was this: "I shall not at tempt to describe the wonderful re sources of your remarkable country. I did not bring my encyclopaedia with roe, and you know more about that already than I do." It is well remembered that President Cleve land, while on his tour South, made speeches at Memphis, Chattanooga, Atlanta, and other places, that were remar kable as epitomes of local his tory, and pointed with statistical tacts concerning the development of the places in question. Those ad dresses were valuable for public in formation and maiked by the best of taste and propriety. They were unique and really fascinating, and proved the skill of a master mind, or hand if you choose to call it so. To prepare those addresses the speaker must needs have had re course, more or less, to the encyclo paedia for information, but what of that ? We look not for perfection of knowledge, or absolute intuition of mind, even in Grover Cleveland. Nevertheless, the carpers in an ene my's ranks took occasion at the time to criticise those addresses because they smacked of the encyclopaedia. Sensible, fair men took only the proper view, notwithstanding the penny-a-liner criticisms made at the time. Now "little" David Hill, seiz- Bg upon what advantage he might make out of a possible prejudice against his rival, deliberately makes a slur at him. Fie upon you. Gov. Hill. The illustrious ex-Presideut V 1 T mil may well anord to reply: "We thank thee for that word,1' for in our utjgruent your indiscretion has only placed yourself uin the soup." Lower Richmond It9ins. From the Laurinburg Exchange., TheW. C.T. U. supper last Friday night netted $10.00. Mr. L. J. Kelly at Old Hundred s sufferering intensely from a can cer on his right cheek. The reTenue officers struck our town last Friday, and raided several barrels of blockade '"bust-head" as a booty. Aaron McGregor, colored, was car ried to jail last Wednesday evening or breaking in Dave Jackson s bouse. The effect of the destructive boll worm on the cotton in this section is now being daily seen by the more and more real short crop. Dr. Ramsey, of Monroe, examined 41 applicants for membership in the Koyal Arcanum last week. These will constitute the charter members of a new lodge to be instituted here soon. The Rockingham Rocket and Spirit of the South will please say that by the present bchool Law white teachers, who fail to attend the Teachers' Institute the week in November beginning Monday the 25th without giving a just and sat isfactory reason, will not be allowed a certificate for the ensuing year. They had therefore better bear this in mind. Anson County Items. From the Wadesboro Intelligencer. 17th. The wild geese are flocking to this country in droves. You may prepare for cold weather, f The corn crop on the high lands is the best for years, but bottom land corn was badly damaged by the ires hets last summer. Several of oar veteran sportsmen celebrated the expiration of the bird law last Tuesday1, by taking an old fashioned hunt. They had good luck and report birds plentiful. A large amount of syrup has been made in this county this yar and it is a good quality of syrup, too. Nothing like the amount of molasses is sold here that was years ago. Mr. J. T.Lee happened to bad lut k by getting his gin house, six bales of cotton and his saw mill burned. It was burned yesterday, Monday. He nail ginning cotton and the cot ton had matches in it, and the lint caught' tire and burned it all up. A big crowd was preseqt at the ceremonies attendant upon the launching of a huge new flat at Wall's feVry'la8t Monday. A sump tuous dinner was spread ami every one enjoyed the occasion.

The Monroe Iron Works Co. will exhibit a grain cradle of its manu facture at the Chester fair next vfk, which they claim is the best evi r in the county. Thty will jnatiufaciui-f them on a large scale for nextf seas on's crop. Mr; William Gardner, an old and well known citizen of Lanes Creek township, died suddenly Tuesday night with heart disease. He had had a corn husking and his family supposed he was at the corn pile, but he remained out so long that they went to look for him and found him just outside the yard gate dead. He had been in his usual health during the day. Diligent inquiry among our far mers shows a diversity of opinion in regard to the condition of the cotton crop. It is undoubtedly certain that the crop was damaged immensely by the frost many say ing that it is cutoff at least one half. It may be put down a a fact, that not more than one-half of an aver-, age crop will be marketed in this county some put the estimate as low as one-fourth. Dr. W. C. Ram say, who is himself a splendid farm er and a close observer, places the crop at ofie-half ; and as the Doctor has had fine opportunities, for obser vation, we conclude he is about right in his estimate. The Doctor says the corn crop is the largest raised In the county since he has been a citizen of it fifteen years. Tli ere is consolation is this fact, for we do not know what would have been the consequence to many peo ple if there had been a failure all around.
