THE PROGRBSSIVB FARMER: OCTOBER-11, 1892. ZEKE BILKINS. mV;V- -V 1''. ;..i;.rU:-M;ii Woman Suffrage Not a Success- Zeke in Trouble Again. "lit 11)! Mr. Editor. XI. " Good morning, Uncle Zeke. How are you to day?" B 4'0h! I'm all right, but Betsy has been on tbe warpath. She is worse nor a Kentucky moonshiner when she gets r:led. I rerkin we will have to part.'' p What is the trouble this time J" B. " Well, we got to diseusshV wo man suffrage. I said that wimen ought to vote one year an' let the men folks rest an' get the scars get healed up where they git the bark knocked oil every e.mipaign." R. ' And that made Mrs. Bilkins mad." B. "Yes. the said I was too lazy to vote myself, or lilc a good many others, too cowardly to vote my senti ments or for home an' country, an' that I wanted to git the wimin into trouble, let them disgrace- themselves quarrel li a' an' fightin' like the men do. She said he never wanted to see a wo man go to th- polls we arin' long hair an' votin' against their husbands an' children like the men had bin doin'. I told her tint they wouldn't have any hair long after the campiign opened; that t-y would pull each other's hair out before the conventions were over, let alone election. I told her that they would get to lockin' at their dresses an' crUiciziu' them an' forget to vote. That made her so mad that sparks flew out ot her eyes." R. "Have you heard from Georgia V B. " Yes. B itsy said she reckoned thej' f.re satisfied now down there. They have thrown rotten eggs an' other things untd many of the decent people quis the Democratic party an' now th-i negroes have to v Ao that way to kep the g o p. in. I am satisfied myself. If this election does notbin' else in t he South except divides the negro vote it will be more profitable to the country than any campaign since the w ir. The negroes ought to divide. They will do better an' the country will do better." J R " You are right. When the race isuo gets out of the wajr, then there will b some good work done along other lines Business and reason will take the place of sentiment and preju dice.1' B. "Bsy says that day is comin', an' th-st this c mpaign is the beginnin' an' al;)Mt, the end. I'll bet that Bitsy is right She has lots of brains whn she is in a g -o I humor, but when she gets nv-id at me she has no more sense than a D.'i.'iocrati-i politician or editor. She loses hc-r geod judgment an' raises a sex war with me. She don't count men worth anything or give them credit for bavin' any sense when she gets .avid." Good bye. IN COLORADO. There is no doubt about where Col orado will b! found in the coming elec tion. The best men in both pirtie- are for Weaver. The Denver Daily Neivs, the leading Republican paper, had the following short paragraphs one day recently, which shows the tone of the pres there: "Colorado is against Harrison ele: tors simply because President Hrrrison is opposed to the best interests of Col orado " "Even Judas would have "bolted" if he had been compelled to receive his 30 pieces in silver at 83 cents. Some of the Harrison campaign orators in Colorado are not so particular.' "In presidential years, heretofore, the clangor of the campaign has inter fered with business. Just now busi ness has stilled the accustomed clamor. The people are making it their business to think." " The cause of silver has grown more rapidly the past two weeks than at any time since the Minneapolis con vention It will be impossible to elect Republican electors in Colorado this year, by fair means." "Never before was there a preuden ' tial candidate whose advocates are afraid to speak his name, lest hisses should be elicited instead of cheers, xet this is the position occupied by Benjamin Harrison. It i3 a pitiable pledgis '' 8hUld have kePt his "Eastern Republicans vote the straight ticket because th Oil l nfnrota vuvAl. 4.U ovt? are protected by the principles of the party. They vish Western Republi cans to vote thetfttket for the same reason m spite of thHiact that West ern lnterHRt h oy President Harr? Aor nearly four vears. It. Mfiro hi 1 tw vf The Thirty second Annual State Fair will be held at Raleigh October 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st, under the auspices of the N. C. Agricultural Society The opening day, Tuesday, will be one of the most attractive. One of the attractive features of the first day will be the great Wild West Show, which is the greatest out door show in the world. This show carries more than one hundred people, including famous scouts, reservation American Indians, well known cow boys cov girls, Mexi can Vaqueros, etc.. a large number of live stock, including wild Mexican burros, bucking ponies, buffalo, wild Texas steers, etc. All these will com bine in giving thrilling representations of real Western life. The robbery of the old line stagecoach by Indians and banditts will be represented true to life. The scene of a settler's cabin being: fired by Indians and the inmates all scalped will be represented in true force. Also the method of catching horse thieves by the wild cow boj's of the West, and how they are hung and riddled with bullets. V There will be life pictures of the famous Mountain Meadiw massacre and the famed fiht between the Unit d State- troops and the Indiana last year.

Washington, Oct. 3 Firemen on the Richmond & Danville Railroad have asked the officers of the company for an increase of wages on the ground that the heavier engines now in u?eon the road enta.l extra work on them. The company has refused to grant the advance. It is now in the hands of q receiver, and is suffering from the effects of hard times in the South. Retrenchment of expenses in all direc tions is part of its general policy and it was pointed out to the men that while this state of things was the case, it was a very inopportune time to give more wages to any class of workmen. The company has always been on pleas ant relations with its employee, and . has never had any trouble with tbem, and its officers believe that the men" will see that the company cannot at this time afford to increase expenses. No trouble is anticipated. The increase asked is small for each man. but amounts to about $20.0' 0 or $25,000 in the aggregate.
