Some action bv ('on gross, in thus looking towards the welfare of the country, and legislating for its pres ent urgent necessities, is one which calls for patriotism, and (actional issues, party differences and arbitra ry blocking of legislative revenue bills should be side-tracked, ami subordinated to the interests and prosperity of the country. It cannot be expected that a ma jority of the present Congress will rise above self, and throwing aside pet theories and individual iiobbies act for the welfare of the country, but it would be a glorious sight tnevertheles to see such a patriotic action, instead of the present dog ged determination to block every thing except the advancement of personal preferences and individual benelifs. DWITEHSAI. MONET ART SYSTEM. International silver coiuage ami internation il banking, two subjects now commonly discussed with free dom by financial experts throughout the world, are matters which a few years ago were considered beyond all hope of realization, except by the verv few. The friends of a universal curren cy and banking system, set; in their fruition the one great and only solu tion of the financial troubles which are agitating to day not onlv the United States, as through an international compact all dis turbing element, such as the free coinage of silver at any fixed ratio, would be determined by an issue of international currency which would hmve for its standard both gold and silver, and the question of a greater or lesser mintage of these metals would be governed by existing de mand. An international currency would demand an international bauking system, which would greatly facili tate the commerce of the world, and while international hanking may not meet the hearty approval of the bankers who are now reaping proliu through exchaugej, vet with the de mand of-the coaeiercial interest of the world sustaining the establish ment of such a system, it would be come a reality. With the introduction of an inter national monetary eystem, the world would go forward with progressive Strides, civilization would reach its highest state, and the chances of wars between nations would be re duced to the minimum. The people of this ami all civil-j ized nations should make haste to wards the establishment of these great international systems, universal cur rency and bankings as by them the world will realize its greatest ad vancement, and a settlement and permanence given it monetary cen ters which need never be disturbed. Ea-Slav Owner. Beware ! Copies of circulars issued by the United State ex-Slave Owners Iieg istration Burean have been received in Atlanta. It headquarters are in Washington but the circulars re ceived hefe were issued fron. the fnb-oflice at Savannah. Recipients of tbis document are informed that there is no doubt that all slaves owned in the South on Jan. 1. tl3. the date of the emancipation pro clamation, will be paid for and the bureau which makes this appeal to ex-slave owners and their heirs en gages to get the money for this lost property. The cream of the corres pondence is contained in that para graph of the oiicular which rea ls i - as follows: Carefully till out the aceomnanv- ing blank givin? the number and sex (in jvroper column) of all slaves owned by you an January 1st. lt:). If yon owned none, but are the heir of anyone who did, so state m the proper place on the blank. Then go before any state or county otlicial who is authorized to administer an oath and certify to the same. Then send the affidavits to this office with the following fee: One to ten slaves. l.l; ten to twenty, ,'.oj: twenty to thirty, 3 IV); thirty to forty 4 0; forty to tiftv or more than tiftv o.OO. We hope that nobody will be taken in by this gciieme. The so called bureau is being operated eith er by a crank or a sharper and in either case it is dangerous No sane person expects to get pav for the slaves he once owned, ar.d I money invested in the effort would be literally thrown away.

The Washington I'.ist says that the result of the recent conference of Ked's friends at the Capitol, when Mr. Mauley and others went carefullv hit the entire situation, is shown in the telegram which Mr. Manlev Yesterday sent to Huston. It makes a f a or.ihie mi t h mk for Heed, but the figures are. of course, ridi culed hv the McKinley managers. While the Keed-McKinley light goes mernly on. the friends of ex-President Harrison seems to think that he will, after all, be the nominee of the convention, and there is no doubt that the Harrison idea is just now being industriously stimulated anionij many of the leading Repub licans m ( 'ongress. Mr. Mauley's telegsam was as fo! lows : Hon. W. Murray Crane, Republi can State Convention, Boston. Mass. In answer to vour inquiry th s is the situation a-s it will stand at the end of this week. At the- c lose of you r con v en t ion to day th re will have be u delegates elected. Cov. MwKinlev will have t'r dele gates, provided you assign to him the entire delegation from Wiscon sin. Indiana, and Minnesota. But there should taken from this num ber twelve delegates from those States, w ho have declared since their election in favor id Mr. Heed, and a.-' they were not l n.-t rue ted . they should be taken from the McKinley col i' inn and placed in Mr. Reed's. This give- Cov. McKinlev 1"" gates: Mr. Reed. '.'J: iov. Morton, '4: Senator Allison, ;!: Senator (JJuav. eiiator Cullom, 1; con tested, oil. You will see that this gives .vi r. yieimlev lou delegate against lo aim-Me Km lev delegates. The situation is precisely as it was t went v years ago. You will remem ber that three months before the convention met at Cincinnati we were confident of Mr. Blaine's nom ination. He stood then as the apos tle of protection, but he had opDosed to his nomination Senator Conkliug, of New York; Senator Morton, of Indiana: Secretary Bristow, of Ken tucky; iiov. Haves, of Uliio, ant !ov. Hartranft. of Pennsylvania. We felt so sure uf .Sir. Blaine's nomi nation that we regarded it as settled ami yet he was defeated in the con ventien. and the Maine man went down before the Ohio (.Jovernor. History will repeat itself at St Ixuis. Gov. McKinley is and wil le the leading candidate in the con vention, but lie will have opposed to him a can ! idates (iov. Morton, of New York : Senator Allison, of Iowa benator Cullom, of Illinois, Senator (Juav. of Pennsylvania, and -Mr Keed" of Maim. You will find that the tables will be turned, and the Ohio (.ioveruor will so down before the man from Maine. J. II. MAM.KY. NORTHERN INVESTORS . In Southern Land They Own lien Dollars Worth. a Bil- According to the New York Dis patch the citizens of New York hold about a billion dollars worth of southern lands. The value of this property will undoubtedly be great ly increased m the next year or two and within the next ten years, if nothing happens to turn back the tide now flowing southward, will be worth five do lars for every one it is now. What was paid its southern owners for the property is another ijiiestion, but we do not suppose that it cost its present owners one 'uarter of a billion. This gives some idea of the money made in in vesting in southern lands. The Dispatch says: The Louisville and Nashville svs teni owned by northern men, posses ses about vJHKJ sou a re miles of land in weet Florida, about 5iK,O0u acres of which are covered with pine and cypress. While the pine as it stands and the land under it could proba bly be purchased for o,ouo.ikh.), it is estimated to cut in lumber the enormous amount of sixteen billions four hundred millions effect, valued at t.i,.'U"',0iNi. The northern capitalists cut in the three States about .",! .0im .i h i feet of lumber an nually, sold at market rates for alout tT.Ui io.IHh i. Pensacola, alone, ships ;i(0,(XK.,(ioii feet annually to Kurope anJ coastwise. The Kuntz Bros., hankers of this city, owu vast tracts of Texas lands including the site of Sabine Pass, harbor and general outlet of south western Texas. In the vicinity are several thousand square miles of pine on ranch lands owned hv these and other New Yorkers. The Hamilton IMsston land co n panv of Philadelphia, owns over .".Ml square miles of Southern Florida, all of which it reclaimed from a swamp condition, aud is likely to acipiiie double that area. This includes 3b." miles of inland navigation, Lake Okeechobee, of 1, (.() eipiarc miles. Its. drainage operations in this section have been ii uparal led in the history uf the world, and is some day to include the great everglade region, compris- mg nearly 4,immi sipiare miles. The Rrownings are owners of ini mense tracts of southern lands and have projected and constructed rail ways on a'large scale, Birmingham, Decatur, Anniston and other cities of the great South mineral belt are practically owned hv northern men . It is estimated that Hetty Creen has 40.OOo.oi h i invested In southern railways, dohn II. Inman is credit ed with over half that sum in south ern enterprises. Mr. l-'latrer, of the Standard t ;I '"ouipany, has some f.'o.ooiMuMj invested in St. Augus tine alone and asserts tha' he will expend if 1 1 .'.

' It is estimated that of late, more than .",.iO'l.i''o have been spent on j these lines to encourage northern ! .travel m the direction of Southern i ! w inter 'resorts. ! , To give a list of New York invest ors 1:1 the South, it would only be necessary to copy from the directory the bankers and trust companies' di rectors, the leading wholesalers in gnx-eries, dry goods, clothing, hard- ware, etc. " !

Difference Between the New and Old Method of Dairying-. The dairvman os to-day if feedinir his cow anil Caring for her much differently than his father. Th stable life of a cow is all modern. the feeding is almost as different. Earth ha-s been sought over for milk producing and stimulating foods for her, and old foods have been made over, as in the case ot silage, etc. Now we hear of sunllowers, horse beans, soja beans, cottonseed meal gluten, etc., in addition to the old. one diet of hay and corn meal. The result is that cows now have a vari ety, the rations as a result are more nearly balanced. To-day the great desired thing is a protein ration as largely albumen as in the corn plant starch. Clover is almost an idea' ration, about one to live, but a cow is compelled to consume too great a (pianlity to get the required sixteen to twenty pounds of digestible dry matter: yet clover hay contains fully twice as much of the albuminous matter as does common hay. Clover should he grown by all dairymen, and fed either as a soiling crop, pasture, hay or silage, and reduces bv so much the cost of purchased protein in the form of bran, oil meal. etc. One of the great features of the clover plant is us power oi garnering nitrogen from iiii-i-i'ii sources, and n t onlv supplying its own needs, but leaving behind a great per cent of nitrogen in the soil to benefit the succeeding crop. Clover is of great nianurial value to the dairy farmers, for aside from its great feeding power it does not seem to have been proportion ately tolled by the animal, for fully So per cent of its original nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash are left in the excrement. If water tight gullies and absorbents are employed this will be saved io go back upon the soil to there he added to a large percent of the same elements found in the roots and mulch left in and on the ground after the clover was removed as bay. .ii sorts or legumes are being tried a a substitute for clover, but in each and every case they prove to be only helps to either bridge over an accident or a drought, or afford a quick soiling crop. As the dairy man looks for a better and a cheap er food for his stock he cannot af ford to neglect clover, but in everv way should grow more oi it uoin m should TAX SALE ! !):,... t i - u , n g Ir-fv till hi ii ay levied upon tin died Real K-tate to a v-s now due and mi- pal for tl c veai- 1 and will sell uterv. at the Court House at publi door in ( 'oil n t v tti City d New I State ( Berne, f North if Cra el i n:i . at 1 ".' o M.. on Mi 1 h lav pril. 1- I 1 i ' u N 1 1 n N.
