A Lenoir correspondent brings forward in another colamn his choice for President and Governor of North Carolina. We conld not undertake to give space to every reader of the Jouknax, who do sired to do so, to speak his views on such matters, bat in this comes from a representative man we can safely take it as representing the YtewS of a large number of Demo crats in Lenoir county.

The Progressive Farmer notes the fact that the Clubs, the Grange, the Alliance, the Kelief, the Union, the Wheel, are farmers' organiza tions with substantially the same objects and principles. TakeD alto gether, says the Progressive Far mer, these various organizations aggregate a membership of oer 3,000,000 iu this country; and our esteemed contemporary hopes the ; day ia not distant when thev will' all consolidate. Washington C;ty seems to be We presume there was about as ; the place to learu about the con much necessity for starUDg these, dition of political part.es both various organizations to accomplish J the-Bame objects and principles j for the farmer as there was in starting the hundreds of demonina- j tions and sects for the propagation j and advancement of the religion of Jeans Christ. The Saviour Hinself established His Church and His I)isciples promulgated His Doctrine for near a century when suddenly it was discovered that another organization wajneeded, and then another and another, until now they run up ia the hundreds. The Grange organization sprung up in this country about twenty jears ago and spread like wild fire. But many were disappointed, be cause the Grange did not prove the sudden panacea for all the troables the farmer had to face, and gradually the organization lost the j rubbish which accumulated so rapidly in its infancy, and got dowa to badness, the number of organi rations remaining teing sufficient to keep it iu tact. Now since the work of re organization of the Grange has revived and is progress log on a slid basis, other orgamz i tions are springing up and dividing the efforts of the farmers. In unity there is strength. If the farmers, aa a c1a. want to make themselves felt in the administra tiou of governmental affairs and j help to shape legislation they ought to unite, but our friend Polk will live to see the Miilenium if he lives to see all these organizations con solidate in one, and move forward ia one solid phalanx against mo nopolies and political wire workers, A farmers' organization for mutual aid and an intelligent inter- Change of views on the subject of their calling, should be in every neighborhood. Bat for ultimate . . - success, each individual farmer ' must dd to the experience of his neighbor In planting, manuring and j cultivating crops, industry, econ-' omy, sobriety, steadv habits and J 1 -rood judgment. To succeed he must keep accounts of the various crops he cultivates, itemize the oeipts and disbursement so that he may not plod along in the same old beaten track complaining that farming don't p.y and imagining that the laws and business of tlie country are ali plotting against and I ! robbing bim.

Brother Kitchen has laid down th rirhl .Wirino nn rhia mhisrt anrl i we are ready to help light it out on this line to it full results Kistern Rellec- to The Journal is opposed to the life-tenure system, but the doctrine that inculcates the idea that public offices are created for the purpose of -passing around" among the fi leuds of a political 'arty is wrong. Offices are created, or should be. for the purpose of administering the affa.rs of the government, anil where there is no limit by law to the number of terms one may serve i:i a certain position, the people ought to demand a change, not simply because some oilier man wants the position but bt cause the public good requires it. The Reflector evidently means to say that Senator Ransom has been iu the Senate long enough and ookiht to staDd a:de and let some -' other man have the position our contemporan 's idea is to If ,ass the offices around as rapnliy as possible so that c ery aspirant tor politiejl honors may get achauce at government pap, t lieu i: ought to insist that I h e Senatorial term be cut down to two years and allow no one man to hold longer than one term, lint we submit that tins ilea of pandering to the i ihes of ambitious politicians should be the last considered :n the election of a C S.

General L ox of the Kaleigh . , . . , , ; district was not renominated bv the Democrats, not because he had ceased to bo useful to his constitu ents but because there were many ; others who wanted the position. He was better prepared to be of service to his State and district another term than he had been before. There is no need to encourage men to seek or expect office by advocating the passing around sys - tern ; the woods is full already. Let the people seek the man to fill the office, and if he fails to serve them honorably and faithfully they will turji him out and put in another, not simply because the other d serves it, but because he is capable of making an efficient, honest, public servant. TH K DEMOCRATIC OCTLOOk NOkTH CAROLINA. National and State. every man of poht:ci I, o., tl,,t E seems that l prominence who visits the cap tol is bound to give his views on the situation and the news is sent that the people back to Ins State mav know bow Hiey stand Ex Senator K:ng ot Guilford, has lately been at these headqaarters and interviewed by the News & Observer correspon dent. He thinks the Democrats are not iu the best trim for success in the fifth district on account of the management of the I". S. Marshal's office there, and unless a change is made that district will go wrong, '.hat is against the Demo cratic party, in the next election. It is well for the democrats to know ot these discontents and I rectify them if possible before it is everlastin too late There is restlessness and discontent in the East as well as in the Wes Many people are beginning to lo k upon the election of State i flicers and member of the General Assembly as a matter of business rather than mere party triumph. They want members of the General Assembly who are capabl of guard. ng their interest in matters of legislation; they want a Governor who will aid them as far as lies in his power in developing their resources; who will study their interest as well as that of other sections, and on operate with them in an move ment to advance their asiness and industrial enterprises. Senator King is of the opinion that the nomination for Governor will be tendered Jarvis and that to ex Governor he will accept. This would doubtless be satisfactory to the East, as, indeed, wonld the nomination of any live, progressive man with the interest of this sec- in t) v,ia tion, in common with the whole , State, at heart. But there is one singular thing about the Senator's views in regard to the fifth district. : After speaking of the discontents 1 and expressing doubts about the district going right unless they are re-jremoved, be confidently says that Jim Morehead will head the con gri'ssional ticket m-xt Call and re deem the district. The republicans are making lesperate efforts to consolidate their forces, and if they succeed in doing tins in the second district, a like consolidation of democratic discon tents will be essential to success.

So upon the whole everything is yet in donbt. ri HLK SCHOOLS-DO THEY NEED HELP : It is singular that men cannot oppose a measure and keep within the bounds of reason and common sense. It is now urged by some ot those who oppose the Blair edu cational bill that the money it pro- ides is not needed in the South : that the public schools are doing well enough without it. The man who makes tins assertion is either oppo.-ed to educating the masses or De us totally ignorant of the con dition of the public schools in the rural districts. Rpwn 1 1 v t wo t h i rd of the school fund of Lenoir count v lor the present year was appor- turned, per capita, to the various districts in t lie county, giving to eacn the enormous sum of fifty-six So the whole amount to be expended for public schools in that county for one year will be about t'ijhtyour cents to each child within i the school age, and this county can bo taken as a fair average of the amount of money expended for l)Ublic school nurnoses. How lone would one of these polished, consti tutional scholars and writers be willing to teach a child for eighty- . hf of Mr T hoel,e, presented in t he four cents! They tell us with much rorm of written resolutions th- sug glibness and urge with all their ; gestions outlined in his spetch of intellectual force that the Blair bill : th? forenoon.

Swansboro Items. 1 1" t here is one indisputable fact in regard to the public schools in j Our town is booming. North Carolina it is that they are inefficient for lack of funds. The State cannot inaugurate even one industrial school because it has not the Innds. Our public schools in a large majority of the country dis tricts are not kept open three months :n the year because they have not tbe lands. A child who enters school at the age of six wil probably by the time he is twelve when he is PQt t0 work on the farm, ' get tbe benefit of twelve months schooling during the six years. If the schools are kept open six or eight month in the year a child entering at six would lay the foun dation of a practical education by the time he had to go to work on the larm. I f kept open only two or three months an they are now he would hardlv learn to read unless . ." , . . , - , tae parent s ab e to give him ad- 1 6 ditional facilities. But these great liberty-loving, constitutional writers say that such children do not need help : that thev ould be degraded!"8- weDt through the inlet into the r .i i r it . ,f they received it from the great goverment that is daily taking bread irom their mouths by exces- sive taxation . In the arguments against the Blair bill the prejudice against popular education, or the education of the masses, will now and then crop out notwithstanding the studied efforts to conceal it. To say that public schools that are not kept open for lack of funds more than two or three months in the year do not need help,simply means that the children of those communi ties ought not to receive a fair education at public expense even though the money should come from the National Government which is taking it from them. The public schools of North Caro lina do need help or they need to be abolished. ( 1 Johnston as a Farmer. Col. William Johnston, of this city, :s a pret ty good farmer, and 1 has been particularly successful in Ins experiments with clover and rye. His cows and horses have green teed" all through the winter, and it is supplied by a halt acre plot in Col. Johnston's garden. He sowed the land in clover and rve on the l'th ot last September, and : he has just mowed the field for the first time. He will get two more ; cuttings of rye, one in February j and one in April, and after that he j will get three cuttings of clover. He sowed the rye and clover at the j same time. The rye, at the first ; was eighteen inches high, and fur-; nished an abundance of the best , kind of feed. Col. Johnston ad- . vises farmers to try this plan. Let them plant a half lot near their barn, where thev can cut the crass aa they need it. It is a good plan. ' and should be given a trial by our farmers. Charlotte Chronicle.

Mr. Spher made a long argu ment, reNiewing the preliminary declarations, and urging the impor tance of the committee going into the district and taking testimony, , , - -,. . , ,, , r ,i declaring it to be the duty of the committee. He said that Mr. Car lisle had himself acknowledged on the night after the election that he was defeated and that Mr. Thoebe wa-s elected, anil that by only the court and the canvass was Mr. Car lisle declared elected. Mr. Thoebe followed Mr. S pher, and spoke luit th. He said he came out of the shop to appear belolc the committee, lhat it might see arid kuow him. and that he might have the opportunity of makiug a per sonal statement of the facts m the case. He was questioned by mem bers of the committee, and, at the conclusion of his statement, said that if the case was decided against him he would go back to his sh -p and resume his woik, but that he would not quit votin, Air sinh.r -nil 1 t Tliiiflif clalm;(1 that o:. the night ol the election Mr. Carlisle's defeat was apparent, that a conference ot his Irieuds was hdd and a decision reached to hold back the returns until theyc, uld be tixt d up so as to give him a maj nity.

This we called a foolhardy venture, only one man in a small canoe with only two young girls to venture out in the ocean and run the risk of their lives for nothing to gain. Beat this. Who can or who wants to try ? The True WlTe. Olumes 1 have seen a tall ship glide by against the tide as if drawn by some invisible towline with a hundred strong arms pulling it. Her sails unfilled, her streamers drooping, she had neither side wheel nor stern wheel ; still she moved on stately, in serene triumph with her own life. But I knew that on the other side of the ship, bid den beneath the great bulk that swam so majestically, there was a little toilsome steam tug, with a heart of tire and arms of iron, that was tugging it bravely on, and I knew that if the little steam tug untwined her arm and left the ship. it would wallow and roll about, and drift hither and thither, and go off with the refluent tide, no man knows whither. And so I have known more than one genius, high decked, lull freighted, idle sailed, gciy.penr.oned, but that for the bare, toiling arms and brave, warm beating heart of t he faithful little wife, that nestles close to him, so that no wind or wave could part them, he would have gone down with the stream and have been heard of no more.

Mr. Koonce was a worthy citizen, ol character and integrity and had been for sev eral years Cleik of our Superior Court of .Jones couuty. All good citizens deeply sympathize with his ' grief stricken family in their be reavement. We desire to say to our Jones couuty citizens that our fathers generally each had his own family bury mg ground on the edge of some hill on the plantation aud many of these places now can't be found, and in many instances strangers have possession and have these dear, sacred spots of the lathers iu cultivation. We can in the future remedy this evil. Let each neigh borhood call a meeting aud purchase its burying place, divide it up in lots among their neighbors and let it be a place where we all cau meet at least once a year and scatter lowers over the graves of our de parted friends and relatives. Can't we do it? Who will help me start it ? Wanted eaNoncd Lumber There is au euormous demand in the South for lumber, and a.s a con sequense first class dried material is difficult to obtain. The building boom iu Southern towns has made it difficult for makers aud dealers to meet calls for seasoned timber. Many houses constructed during the last year are uiula wholly or partly of half dried boards, and they will therefore be of much less value than thev oaght to be. The Southern lumbermen should ghe more attention to the seasoning cf their materials. There Is general carelessness in this matter, and while the rush continues almost anything in the shape of board will sell; but the time is nearby when those who sold green lumbei for dry iu 1S87 will find that sort of trade "played out'' and those "who (tract iced it under the ban of sus picion. Even a great part of the furniture ' made in Southern fac tories is put up ol green board-, and is not worth quarter the prices charged for it. These shoddy practices ought to cea-e at once. Honest lumber manufacturers, furniture makers and carpentry establishments sh uld form an as soeiation arid make it their husi ! 1,0 to force the dishonest and careless m uiose cranes to conduct business on a squarer policy. It something is not done the trade iu the South will be badly hurt. Chattanooga Tradesman. The flurried Ham's Mistake. A married man iu Peoria refused to go with his wife to a fancy lair, .-ay iug that he had to attend au important meeting, so the woman stayed at home, but the man went to the lair just the same and got home about 2 o'clock in the morn ing, arid stealthily crept into the house aud to the bedside where his wile was sleeping. Alter getting his clothing off, ready for bed, he imagined that his wife was waking up, so he began rocking the cradle, which stood near the bed, a.s though he had just got up out of bed for that purpose. His wife, alter he had been rocking about live min utes, raised up iu bed and said : You infernal old bald headed fool, come to bed. I have the baby here." He went. Protection in the Sontb. There is a growing sentiment favoring protection in the South. Probably no other growth of opin ion in any part of the country has been i-o rapid, so pronounced and so generally prevailing among tbe reading, thinking, intelligent and prosperous classes. Our more in telligent farmers are nearly solid for protection, as was proven by the resolutions passed by the an uual Southern Farmers' Congress at its last lad's session. All the new daily papers' established in the section in 1887 are protectionists, and there are no less than five in Alabama. Nor are the protection ists and protectionist journals con fined to manufacturing cities and centers, by no means. The Mobile ; Register is one of the ablest pro ! tection papers iu the country, and Mobile manufactures no protected article. Fifteen years ago thers was one daily south of the Ohio and Potomac that openly stood up for protection; now there are more than twenty, and tbey cover 80 per cent, of Southern daily circulation. That don't look much as if the "protection heresy" was "ovine as one of' our frpp rpni1lJ (,Tnl,an,es asserts is the j case, not much. Chattanooga , 'Tradesman. TIME AND FATE. Robert burns.

Wo me n has class-tied women ome one under two In and t he ciO(i adings the beautiful . The distinction may be too absolute, but it is certain that the wist nirin would rather ad mire than marry a beautiful woman. And it is no less certain that many men who have married women re m.ukihle for their devotion have withsuirnw seen an extraordinary change in t heir wives soon after mamage. In such a case the wo man may not scruple to explain this change as due to t.h- novel and jarring circumstances ot married life. But she will not be saved by such sophistry. The father of the Jesuits knew ad about it when he made it a rule of his life 'That fan) lliarty with ali women ought, to be avoided, even with the most devout; that the most innocent commerce with them, if it wound not our cm science, leaves some stain upnu our re put at inn, and the smoke blackens, though the tire does nut burn us.'' It has been said that the beauti ful woman is a book containing only a single page, which may be read at a glauce; whereas t he woman who is both heauMlul and good is a b iok of many pages, proper perusal of which exacts a lifetime. It may be sn; I'Ut why is it that the women of the latter uncommon type always suivive their husbands or series ot husbands? j Enough, however. It will be 1 sufficiently evident from these lew j pages that women have al ways been 'esteemed a.s au amiable blunder. uul are likely to be the cause of in- credibly bitter blundering in the futuie.

Chicago Tri bune Uncle Mark Tolliver. an aged coloied man in the South, is mueh iuterrested in the studies of his graud son, a promising youth who is going to the high school and studying Latin, 'Pe.irs like de greates' men in de ancien' times was all cullud lolks," said the old man one even ing, after the boy had recited some ot his lesson.

Home cannot be more sweet made happy without it It is like flowers that spring up in our pathway, re viving and cheering us. Let a man go home at night, wearied and worn out bv the toils of the day, and how sweet is a word dictated by a sweet disnosition. It is sunshine falling on his ear. He is happy, and the caTes of his life are forgot ten. A sweet temper has a soothing influence over the mind of the whole family. When it is iu the wife and mother, you observe kindness and love predominating over the natural feelincs of a bad heart. Smiles, ana Kiua worus auu euai ae terize the children, and peace and 'love have their dwelling there. Study, then, to acquire and retain a sweet temper. The Condition of the Laboring Man We often hear labor agitators uttering the saw that "the poor are growing poorer and the rich rich er." It is repeated so often that many believe it, but is it true! This question was answered by James Bartlett, a Massachusetts machiuist, in an address at the Michigan semi centennial on the progress of machinery iu thelasi titty years. Speaking from memo ry he said : "The wages of a ma chinist in shops, iu 18-43, were $1 to tfLo a day ; one nabob of a pat tern maker received the great sum id' 1.50. They went to work at 5 o'clock in the morning and worked till 7:30 at night, w ith an hour for breakfast and thiee quarters tor diuuer. It was several years be fore we obtained 11 hours a day. It has now been 10 hours a day for twenty-five years or more, and we grumble at that, though we may get more than twice the wages we did forty years ago; and we are i . . rt i . i hull M r T f (iu r t u ! m a n. li i ivhur I " f, uifLi' , pay for wor king eight, hours. 1 , , . . .. . . .

'How near?" asked Mrs. Isin glass, in tone chilly enough to congest a stone dog. "Why, two fellows stopped me, and I k kuocked one down on the spot.'' "What spot?" "Why, the spot where I met him." "Where did yon meet him?" "On the corner of J Jones and Market streets," "Those streets don't corner!" "Ob, I forgot. It was at the end ot Market street." "That ends in the river. Are you wet. Mr. Isinglass?" "No o," sotto voce "I'm con founded dry. I expect I killed that fellow, b but it was iu self defense." "John," said Mrs. Isinglass, in the same Greenland's icy mountain tones, "look me in the eye." Mr. Isinglass fixed a pair of wob bliug, terror stricken eyes on the face before him. "John," continued Mrs. I., with tin ice h use inflection, "I don't be l leve there is a word of truth in tbe story yon are telling." Wh-bo said there was?" asked Mr. Isinglass, in an injured tone. "1 h had to say something, didn't I?" Not What I hey Appear. A South street grocer had a curi ous experience one evening. While busily engaged in the back of his -tore selling an Irish woman a pound ot butter, some sneak thief made away with three tempting looking canvassed hams that hung outside on a cro:8-p;ace betweeu the awniDg posts. What did the grocer do! Well, he wrote on a piece of paper: 'I kuow who stole the three hams from iu front of my store. Thev are worthless to anj one but my self. If returned 'n 2i hours no ar rest." When his clerk came down to opeu the store at daybreak the three hams hung outside. "Tbey were sawdust," explained (he grocer, "and that is why I was uot worried over the loss.
