It appears that the Senate may pass . the tariff bill this month, with the income tax a tatchment, although the Now York fellows are against It is about time for Democracy outside of New York to have few wortts as to the policy the Democratic party. The Chronicle learns with a bf great deal of regret, of death of Esquire Nathan Gwyn, of Caldwell county. has been very feeble for sone time. He was about 55 yeexs old, and one of the most promi nent and popular cstizens of Caldwell. He was a brother sf Rev. E. N. Gwyn, of this coim ty and Messrs. R. R. & T. L. Gwyn of Elkin. He had been a life long and consistent mem ber of the Methodist church a id an amiable and sociable gentle man of the ie Coxey marah to the has ended, so they say. His thousands didn't make their appearance, as Coxey 3x pected. Two or three of his 1 aa ders when they reached Wash ington attempted to run things, regardless of law gr any th ng lse, and the police had to give cjhem lodging for ihe night. But it is over now, and this is the first reference to it that the Chronicle has made. Itfdoes not believe in . giving such crnks prominence, as it only tends to encouage the idle anarchists and charlatans. Any system under which the labc r of convicts- is allowed to compete vith that of honerable persons is wrong and vicious. -New Berne Journal. And any system under wr. ich convicts are allowed to lay a bout in idleness and thus com pelling the . "honorable' ind ionest-hard working persons to pay a big tax for their support, thus putting a premium upon crime and idleness "is wrong and vicious", be something , There seems to wrong any way you take it. . The fact is as long as there are convicts there will be something wrong witn any eystem in the world.

Agricultural , 'Efecperiment Station at Raleig, desiring to extend the cultivation of Soy Beans, proposes to distribute a quantity of seed to careful planters desiring to test their merits. The only condition is that each appli cant send 10 cents i'n postage stamps to pay cost of transportation by mail. E nough seed will be sent to each applii cant to plant 1-10 acre. The first 400 ap plications will be filled in the order re ceived. The Station regards this as a very val uable forage plant. It is of upright growth 2 o 3ft. high and is a legumine capable of addiug nitrogen from the air to the soil in which it grows. It is plan ted in. hills or drills 2 to 3 ft. apart ac cording to richness of soil, and 15 to 24 inches apart sn the row- It can be planted any time from March to July either alone or in the corn row between the cornw and 2 to 4 beans are usually planted in each hill. Soil suitable to it and the general preparation is the same as for corn. When planted for( corn both crops can be ensilaged together, and the corn ensilago will be much im proved by the combination, or the plants when planted alone can be cut for forage before they get too woody. The seed are found in small pods and can be saved by cutting the whole plant when leaves and pods have turned a golden hue.. They can easily be beaten out when dry 1 If cutting is delayed be yond this time the pods will open and some - will be lost on the ground. It will not pay to pick the beans. It is also a good table bean, but requires a long time to cook. " Station urges a care ful trial of this crop.
