The people of Halifax county must emigrate, perish or change their mode of living, or learn to live on air or water. . - There are no other possible rem- edies. Our lands have been culti vated for twenty years in succes siou without rest. All the cotton and grain prtnluciu ingredients and constituents in the soil have been extracted and taken up iu producing grain and cotton and there is nothing in the soil to pro duce these products but water. To attempt to supply the deficiencies in our soil by artificial meaus,wiih phosphates, guanos and other com mercial fertilizers is the height of folly, and shows the want of wis dom and common sense. Man and beast wheu tired and ex. hausted must have. rest, that na ture may come to their rescueand without this aid and rest both would soon perish ami die. Land as much as man aud beast needs rest. A mau or beast with a strong physical constitution can stand more toil and fatigue than one with a weak, timid and falter ing constitution. So can a tract of land rich in humusj ash, carbon, the phosphates and ammonia stanu more cultivation than a trajt deficient in thes:e ingredi ents. But continued cultivation I will exhaust either. I kubw half the lauds- cultivated in this county for the last six years .have not paid fjr the preparation, planting, cultivating and housing. The have been worked at a heavy loss. How can a, man live and pay his debts, it it costs him 'five, hundred dollars" to.". '.iiUivi . hi.ioir -ind when it is gathered it only 'brings three hiui:h eUii How can a ten ant, or renter live and pay his debts, ii it cost him three hundred dollars to plant, cultivate and house his crop, and when he pays bis rent he only has one hundred doll ars left? This has boen the case in .Halifax county for the last live years. As I said iu the start, the peo pie of this county must either em igrate, perish, or change their mode of farming or 'ive on airand water. The latter they cannot do. Ttey may eiiiigratc, tiiey may erish, Out those wiio remain here must change t he mode of farming. Our land. are exhau.tei and must have rot to recuperate and build up. .Nature is true to" herself and if let alone, aud allowed to have her Tay, will soou restore our woru out laudvs to us in almost jeir original richness. The nat in al vi'gitation will in two or three years, if permitted' to do soy gather from the air and bring up tr-oui the earth the proper ingre dieiitslor makingcorn and cotton. Oi.t if we continue to pursue the present mode of farming, we will soon be driven from our homes by poverty aud 'Starvation as the Ver mont and Massachusetts 'farmers have been. Let no .farmer in the county cul ti ate or reut out more thau halt of his tillable land, and let that half be the best half. Don't rent out your lauds. If they are rich, ami you reut out, they will soou become poor. Dou't farm ou shaies witli any man on the top side of the earth. This mode of farming will ruin your farm, ruin you aud the laborer. Don't rent your land or farm on shares under auy -circumstances to a man with big notions and too proud tolabor tor a living. .No man can rent a one or two horse crop or work on shaies and hire all the labor and buy .supplies-, and pay expenses It is impossible. The renter or sharer must have the labor free or he cannot clear expenses. Don't have around you lazy people. Let them suffer until they learn to work. Dou't cultivate poor iaua mat will not pay for the cultivation. Better do nothing. Don't rent out your poor laud. Better let it rest. Not more Mian one colored man in a hundred has the capacity to manage a one horse farm. Aud not more than half the white men know how to farm. A man who cannot farm ought not to be set upas a farmer, but ought to be hired as a laborer. In other words the labor of the country ought to be controlled and directed by the intelligence, skill aud wisdom of the country. One, word to the merchants. Don't furnish your cropper' unless he own the land, on a crop lien. Furnish the land owner, and let him furnish the laborer, or furnish nobody. By doing this the laud- lord will be forced to attend to his business aud labor will become as valuable as now it is worthless. More Trickery than Morality. From the Newton Enterprise. Senator Gorman has been criti cised quite severely by some Dem ocratic newspapers for declaring against', the Australian system of j voting. But as the. Maryland Senator is one of the best practi cal politicians in the Democratic party, his opinion is entitled to great respect. Be not too hasty in condemning the views of him who managed the ouly campaign since the war that has resulted iu givin a Democratic President to the country. There is more trick ery than morality at the bottom of the great anxiety the liepubli can's are .manifesting lor this sys tern in the States of New York, Maryland and Connecticut, where there are large Democratic cities, wuy is It tbtxy tuy nothing '.-about the necessity of having the Aus tralian system in Pennsylvania ami kansas? Anil why is it they are opposed to having it iu the south, 'where the ne"io voters would be chiefly afiected oy it f - Jt is not radically different from the South Carolina law which has been held up as the blackest of iniquities. Let not the Democrats ue caugnt m tins pitian unless ihey are able to pull the iiepubli eaus iu with them. A Little Experience. It is painful to learn that some Northern Kepublicans have been traveling in a sleeiiig car witn some of their Southern partisans, and do 'uotapprove of it; iu fact, it is reported that they would Vote the Democratic ticket rather than nave any more of it. The story is that A. W. Boggs, of Chicago; E, I). Gilmore, of Pittsburg, and P. E. Brady, ot Tiffin, Ohio, took the Pullman sleeper in New Orleans, and finding the lower berths all gone, were booked 'for beds above. The occupants of the lower beiths proved to be four black members of the Louisiana Legislature, who were ou their way to Washington. Though the three white meu were iiepublicans aud had voted for Harrison for President, they were outspoken in their denunciation of.the preseuce of the blacks. The negroes talked politics all night, and when morn nig came ; took com plete possession of the lavatory, stripping to the skin for a wash. The white men abamloued the field to them, and waited until they reached an Atlanta hotel be fore they touched towel or soap. All three declared that heuceforth they would vote the Democratic ticket. Walker Blaine, eldest son of James G. Blaine, and examiner of claims in the State department, died on the loth inst. of pneumo nia, utter an illness of only three days. Send us the news of your neigh borhood. " - tecr-uforthe a discount of 2oc. it paid m t-Snb Der vear- avance. The Victors in the Dumps. From the Baltimore Sun. There is a remarkable want of enthusiasm for the present admin istration among the representa tives at Washington of the party that placed it in power. In the party .itself,. if the November elec tions ma.V be said to indicate any thing, there is the same apathy, not to say disgust and depression of spirits, that afflicts Republican Congressmen This,too,when the party, for the first time in many years, is in control of all branches of the Federal government? and is in a position to carry out its cher ished polity. So far does the par ty's distrust of the future go that its leaders count now upon the Democrats regaining control of the nouse in the elections of No- tvember next, and upon a hard j struggle for, the Presidency in '92; whereas a year ago its ascendancy at Washington for another twenty- tive years was thought to be as sured. The general feeling,U may be said without hesitation, is one of discontent. The administration has not, it appears, answered the expectations of its friends. They even as to contrast it with that of Mr. Hayes, to the ad vantace ol the latter, it one might make an infereuce from their com men ts upon it, they ad mire Mr; Harrison's aduiiuistra tiou vastly less than they did Mr. Cleveland's. Tlepublican Congress men loaded the last Democratic President with abuse, and eveu in some caiies descended to the in veutiou charges br retailing of scandalous relating to his domestic they did not impeach his life, but1 intelligence, courage, energy and personal disinterestedness. He was a Democrat aud civil service reformer, with all that that im plies, but the fact that he was a potent force, in the field of iNation- al politics was undisputed. Mr. Harrison disappoints his party's leaders unfortunately in many ways. To begin with, he has distributed the spoils of office in a most unsatisfactory manner. If he had been quicker about it, errors of judgment might have been pardoned, but he has been slow. Thousands of Democrats,it is complained, are still in office, where, they are likely to remain if Mr. Harrison continues to imitate even remotely Mr. Cleveland's de votion to the civil service law.But it is the misuse of patrouage,more than its non-use, that displeases the President's political support ers. In North Carolina, for ex ample, the party is described as 4all broken up" by it. The 44real workers" have been neglected to favor a pretentious faction. The next election is expected to show a large falling off from the usual party streugth. Iu Colorado the situation is. worse, the ante-election promises in regard to silver bearing lead ores not having been fully kept. New Hampshire, it is said,is so dissatisfied with the dis position of local Federal offices that if an election were held to day the Democrats would win by 5,000 majority. In New York all is confusion on account of the in judicious use made of the spoils, and the same state of things exist, it is asserted,iu Kansas and Ohio, Even Iudiana, which has gotteu so many fat places, is demoral ized by party dissensions. Th!e President, - the Congressmen com plain, makes his appointments to "please himself" without due re gard to their wishes, or the exi gencies of the party in their re spective States. The result is to set everybody by the ears, rather than establish that "harmony" in which politicians so much delight. Obstinacy, selfishness, nepotism, icy taciturnity such are the qual ities the President's political sup porters amiably attribute to him. The country, however, it niayleUM',uuuuc,w,,u at this tamiiy to plauge them sorely in the ! r ' .V , ' . , I. . iar with eouauimity. In a squab-1 iuture. squab-' ble over spoils it can only feel an amused interest. The matter about which it is seriously concerned is the party's legislative policy, and a if Mr. Harrison will take the bit in his mouth, as Mr.Cleveland did in his famous tariff message, all may yet be well. Tick's Floral Guide. We have received from James Vick Rochester, N. Y., his Floral Guute, which in beauty of appear- ance and convenience of arrange- meut surpasses anything in this line which we have ever had the privilige of seeing before. It is a pamphlet eight by ten inches in size, and with the covers, which are by no means the least impor- tant part of it, contains an eveu but Bower is very strong in Cald one hundred pages. Although well, Watauga and Ashe, and it called a "floral guide," it is de- voted to vegetables as well, and includes as full a list and descriD tion of both flowers, vegetables and also small fruits as could be brought within the compass of a book ol this size." In all that the Yicks have un- dertaken their aim seems to have been to attaiu as near to absolute perfection as possible, and proba- bly no one ever did so much to- wards bringing the cultivation of flowers to the high standard which it has now attained as did the head of this firm. v The firm takes the same pride in raising choice vegetables as in developing attractive varieties of flowers, and after using their! seeds for a number of vears we are able to recommend them in the highest terms. We advise alPour readers to send 10 cents for the Guidef which n.n bp. lAflnntfd fronvfirst orders and if there are an v of our ladv friends who can succeed in grow- injr a natural rose which will com- pare in beauty with the New r- - - - - ... .' . .n . orripeu xtose suowu.iu me inuv iped tration, we should like to receive an invitation to call and see it. The End of a Brilliant Bad Man. From the Landmark. A newspaper dispatch of the 6th inst. from Pueblo, Colorado, says: 44Carson Parker was found i - dead in a southside saloon yester- dav. It was the striking end of a remarkable life. For years one of the most eminent preachers of the Methodist Church in New York State, he became a druukard and outcast, wandered to Pueblo, re- formed and again joined the church. His reformation lasted fnr n tpw iinrinn- wluV.li time im did editorial work and demoustra- " j - i ---e . i ted rare ability. His last tall was complete, all efforts of friends being useless. He leaves a family in Indiana." This man was at one time a member of the North Carolina Conference, M. E. Church, South, aud during the war rode the Alex ander circuit for two years. He is remembered as a preacher of extraordinary brilto.tat flighty Rchoos seated tbela at all tbe ua as was also his wile.W hile preach- ,.,.,, a i..fr H, ing in Alexander he led astray a young girl of excellent family ,and for this he was disfrocked and left the State in disgrace. He came to North Carolina from Virginia, aud was probably a native of the latter State.

It is :cj-- no wonder that Messrs. Kaudall and Carlisle have grown iudig nant. Speaker Beed and his col leagues are making a record iu this matter infinitely discreditable to themselves and the liepublican party, and one which will rise up near No Candidates in Burke.- From the Morganton Herald. The year 1890 is likely to prove lively one in these parts in a po- Htical way. Burke county is a part of the Eighth Congressional and Tenth Judicial .districts, and there will be a Congressman to elect in one and a solicitor in the i - other, and unless all signs fail the fight for the Democratic nomina- tiou for both offices is going to be an interesting one. Tt is well nn- derstood that Col, CowlesJ the present representative of this dis- trict, will have lively opposition m the person ot W. H. Bower, of Maj. W. A. Gra Col. Cowles baa Caldwell, and of ham, of Lincoln. strong friends all over this district, is understood that Maj. Graham has a strong pull ou the lower tier of counties. The race is bound to- be a lively one. Mr.Bower's entry into the Congressional race tvill make a vacaucy in the solicitor's nlace in the Tenth district,and for this place there is goiug to be a contest that will make the far fly. W. B. Council, of Watauga, W.O- Newland, of Caldwell, J. F. Mor- phew, of McDowell, it is under- stood,will be candidates,and there are five Other counties to hear from. Burke county has no can didate for either position, but will hardly be a "dead head in the en terprise" when the conventions come around. Reputation. The reputation of a man is made up of what people say of him. In like anuer the reputation of a medicine depends on what they who have used it say.

P.& L. railroad hands used B. B. B, with great benefit to counters! the effect of swamp malaria." A curiou$ thing is telegraphed from Alton, 111., to the effect thau the negroes of that place, not con tent with the liberal provision of separate schools for their own race, forced their children npora the white schools. A body of adult negroes took half a hundred nt' fliuir phiblrpn tn thfi wli.it in possession, the teachers makiiu no opposition.
