Editor Democrat : Accord ! farmer, qualuy ol . land, and mode i 0j eulvaiion. i First, I was raised a poor farmer j loy by my lather, who was a hard I 113lcui U,UJ"'UU Kum """"i uu uieu i at the age ot 74 and followed bis plow up to his death. He was a ! local Methodist minister lur 40 years and a liberal churchman. At tus death tny distribnfion share in nis estate was twenty dollars. Mj brother ileury joined me and we added ten dollars each to our shares an-d elected tomb stones to our parents' graves. At twenty one years of ago f left my o d home and engaged in over- seeing for some of the best farmers in OumIow such as Juo. M. Franc . Wni. Humphrey and others. Tht.t expanded my views on farming. I started at low wages but kept ad vancing. My employers all proved to be good friends of mine in after life. J hey had confidence in my honesty, and I commanded their names and moDey at any time. After a few years overseeing I pur chased a plantation at three thou sand dollars. 1 paid half cash, and in three 3 ears 1 was out of debt iWitu an necessary stoct on my ilarra. Then I commenced nur- chasiug negroes to work said land, , generally paying cash At the commencem-nt of the war, I purchased another planta tion for five thousand dollar ca.Ii ;Xherj on CiimB tue Wlir and r was ; rot, bed and plundered of nearly eveni t hmg 1 possessed except laud, ji,mi 1,1 v J,r0 " t free. I Hue I did not surrender as many farmers did My negroes all remained with me. 1 succeeded in getting in some lousy mules aud horses, and just went right on, and made one of the best crops in 'G5 aud realized more clear cash than any crop I ever cultivated. That year 1 sold 350 barrels corn at 18 00 per barrel, 12,000 pounds bacon, lard aud pork from 20 to 25 cents a pound, and other things in proportion. That year and the Dext three was the best time for making money that I ever ex perienced as a farmer. Wages were not so high as now. Now that the war has closed, all we old slave owners had to turn over a new leaf. I am one that always tries to adjust things in general at once. Many times ob stacles are put in our way to test our ability to overcome them. So I soon purchased another planta tion at five thousand dollars, and then my children growing nr had to be sent to school. My boys I educate on my farm. I teach them to run their furrows straight and deep. My daughters are given a good training in domestic affairs oy my wife. We intend to have the girls taught to cook good meals do all other things necessary, and go into the parlor and play and sing good pieces on the piano. 1 have sent my children to some of the best schools in the South such as the Washington and Lee University of Virginia, Greensboro Female College, St. Mary's aud others. 1 have paid out for the education of my children, outside, of preparatory schools, seven thou sand dollars; lor lands fourteen thousand dollars; for negroes six thousand dollars; and have my farm well supplied with good stock, my barn and saoke house well filled, am out cf debt and a thou sand or so in solvent credits; and have been cheated out of several thousand by designiug rascals, who are ever hirking around to get! a chance at honest toil. But it is1?.' cheating never thrives. All I have j I made by farming never got one hundred dollars outside. The quality of lands I cultivate is clay subsoil, about one half under laid with iock marl, and phosphate rock, to what depth or thickness I have not ascertained. Much of the marl is cropping out often strike in plowing. Adapted to corn, cotton, peanuts, sweet potatoes, oats, rye, held peas, rice and the grasses, I generally plant in drills with beds slightly elevated, and cultivate as level as possible. By drilling the work comes regular all the roots drift one wav. Break deeD then cnl- fertilizers. I cultivate my lands ' alternately, so as to keep it up iu a high 8tate of cuitivation. I raa lour j p0ws with hired labor, four on the will try to hold on to that which is good.

I When the Republican caucus first met to consider nti election law ' they went so far as 'o include in the bill a provision d franchising all peroons who had borne arms : against the Government. But it was suou evident that this would not begin to do, and the committee struck it on'. The next i. ing luoiiLiiit out. in the natural uiderof progressive developnient, was the fact that the party was divided in opinion as to the necessity for a Federal election law. Opposition to such a measure was manifested iu all seel ions ol the country and by M shades o( Re-; publicans. lint t Li e pi o: ut a gai ust the law that sounds most loudly on ; th 'jMibho ear, jgnd lor a time1 arrests the headlong action of Re-1 publican Congressmen, is that' of! Mr. Ewart in a caucus of the Re publican members of the House. He predicts' that the passage ol the bill, instead of increasing, would decrease the Republican niajoritj iu the Fifty second Congress. "With all the talk of frauds in Eastern North Carolina, and epecially iu the black district in that State, not a single indictment had yet been found, though both j udge and dis trict attorney were Republicans. It was the same whj iu Alamba and other Southern States. If fraud was so rampant, in those S'ates as charged why could not Republican officials enforce the law now on the statute hooks. What was needed iu the South was to be let alone. The negro question would selile iti-elf after awhile Force bills ami election bills, modeled on the Lodge plan, would prove abortive and make Republi can success in that section abso lutely impossible." This is all true, and we honcr Mr. Ewart for having the man li- . k neSS to address SUCU words to a Republican caucus. What the South needs what every section 1 needs is to be let alone. Elec tions Bhould be under the direction and protection of the States in. which they are held. The Federal Government has enough to do in attending to its legitimate busi ness. There is no danger that a State will permit injustice to the citizen. Individual instances of wrong are constantly occurring in the best regulated communities, but they are redressed as speedily as is consistent with justice to all the parties concerned. Tlnre can be no better security lor personal rights aud public liberty than is furnished by the laws of the States. Congressmen know very well that there is no intention of making this law general in its operation. The purpose is to go into ceitain dis tricts and control them through the exercise of arbitrary force. It is subversive of good order and richly , merits the condemnation of the virtuous of all parties. S(JUIBKKLS DESTROY BIU S.

With all disinterested all'ection, OF The eeconJ evening to witness the ( exercises of Vance Acadeny mg greeted by another crowded audience. : The program wtiaof a higher order U an on the previous evening and uio;e p preciative. i The first presentation was a dialogue iu verse, taking up our Presidents in rot. lion and paying a eulogy to each, followed by rousing cheers and waiving digs. Two recitations followed : "How iheOatesCame Ajar," by Mii-s Annie , Fow ler, and "The Boys," by Master 10 U Iiardison. An instrumental duet was played by Misses Ruth and Lillian Fonler. Six little girls and boys re ittd ' Lenna's Dream," a dialogue composed of nurstry rhymes. To the aldei ly persons present it as the awakening cf the happy memoiies of chdduood that have so often gladdened thu hearts o! youth. The gem of the evening, au 1 that which no doubt delighted every person preaeut, was the recitation, "A Little Boy's Pocket," by Master C. H. Strheelky. lie is only a scrap of a boy about two and a half feet high but his naturalness and self possession im mediately won for him the big beet praise. A sweet, llowing waltz was played on the piano by Mies Eveline Bowdan, and Muster Alphonso Iiardison told of his admiration for "Little Sallie Jones" in a spirited little? speech. "The Blacksmith" was a song by a number of small girls and boys. It carried with it brightness and loveli ness. It had been learned them strictly by note. The ritice most noted for its brevity was "The Costliest Goods, ' recited by Master riarry Scales. It must have had at least six lines. Make them give you a longer piece next time Harry. You ere through before jou had time to get eloquent. The next piece on the program was "The First Steamboat up the Alabama," by Met-srs. B. H. Melton and C. H. Bryan. They both came out in 001 k and exhibited real talent in picturing what would be supposed the astonish ment of the darkey on his H at sight of a steamboat. The love and remembrance a mother I t as for her boy was tenderly illustrated ! 1 T A TT. J a ' I "S oouges in a recitation eutiwea A Mother's Gift." J. H. Smith and W. A. Salter, in comic dress, very humorously told "The Way to John Smith We believe it wis generally conceded that it was done 1 just right. The recitation of Master Jas. Holton was also-in comedy. Besides being an exceptionally sweet singr, Miss Lillian Fowler proved herself capable of becoming an elo cutionist. Another beautiful voice in which we were impressed on the even ing before, and of which no mention was made, was that of Miss Bessie Tuckor. It is clear and awaet and susceptible of high cultivation. Miss Ruth Fowler and Carrie Scheel ky recited "'Guilty or Not Guilty" and ' Drafted" in very lady-like style. Misses Laura Suter and Daisy Wil liams gave a duet on the piano which was most excellently rendered. Their ease and rapidity in fingering was re markable. One of the best pieces, and which produced veciferoua and continued ap plause was, "Assisting Hezikiah," a dialogue by Miss Allen Smith and 1 Messrs. Melton and Biyan. Hezekiah was in love with Jerushy but he was always going to tell her of it the next time. It continued to be next time until driven to the dreadful crisis by a supposed rival. In winnine Jerushy hid joy was unbounded. The evening closed wnh a song by class, "Come Where the Lilies Bloom." Wednesday Evening-, June IS.

The gentleman recognized how dis agreeable the weather was for an au dience and sensibly abbreviated bis ad dress to twenty or twenty-five minutes length. Nevertheless, had there not the gifts with which God has blessed man. He said that he wished to pre sent a few plain and practical facts about educational growth. In this growth there was something far more important than the mere cramming of book learning. If this was the prinoiple object, and sought at the expense of i Proper training of the character, then education is a failure and cannot stand, History, in the time of the flourishing r tlie Roman mpire, and even New York city today, was cited to bear out the facts. Governments must depend on the training of the youth in the wav of love, honor and justice. It was a splendid address and abounded wiih much that was of value and wortfiy of serious consideration. At the close of the address C. R. Thomas, Esq., in well chosen words on behalf of the pupils of Vance Academy, presented the speaker with a handsome boquet of choice flowers. The program was again taken up, and entertainingly rendered as follow-. Recitation, "Pyraovjs and Thisb,' J. H. Simmons. "Rejected," dialogue, Messrs. Al meda House, Lilian Fowler and Harry Bryan.
