The fn.-rt declaration we make is one which at on'-e throws ii-i in Tt,)t ,rt with e.eiy other man m the land, he he r,.!rl I. ik.- iN-r.t. t.ii'.r i.r -f i-ii-fr! --l.!l- ?, .7. .,!...! t,.! liae more of it -rich a it h. sound or unsunnd, inilated or contracted, liat or what not. In a general way wehae been doin our little best lr several years to keep up with what we have thought we could m .-on.e mea-ure undcr.-tand. ai' cordin as ve have had the time to de vote to this -r tli.tt. We miudit as well .say it here a.s any wheie e!.-e or at, any other time, that we believe any man who es.says to pass his little judgment olfdiand on the great financial tie.-tions of this great country with the self-contident air that he knows it well enough, without labo rious and painstaking study, backed by a good deal of gray matter on the in side of hi skull, makes of himself an animal somewhat akin to the one that talked t Malaam one da v. I5ut as to our opinion : We have read a little and thought somewhat of late on the financial problem of tfiis country, and we see very little further than we could see w hen we firt began to look at it. And this is not at all ul rt ni j! ii ir li IK for if lulu' il'llllcd 1 " and still 'on dies many of the strongest anl mol learned statesmen of this age. It, however, a great earthquake j cl,,,,,!,! mil ..ii tho -old in this conti- i nent into t!ie State of North Carolina. and all the silver of this continent into socks to lho Stpte ;nul they were sent the State d Colorado ; and the gold of ! to ie Xorth Carolina Confederate sol North Carolina should he in the lands j dier. While there was some compen- of Mr. A., and the silvered Colorado hhould be in the lands of Mr. P. ; we believe that the Covernmcnt ought to accord equal privileges to Mr. A. and j 3Ir. P. according as it should be desira ble or necessary to coin their metals into money. Under the hypothesis stated, the gold i the property ot Mr. A. and the silver is the property of .Mr. P., and it the lovernment needs or uses them both as money, we think that both metals ought to be admitted to the mints on the same footing. Any other course would be unfair, il seems to us, to the one against whom the discrimination should be made. This is about as far as we have spell ed out our lesson. 'As n jl0 rat ju at, which these metals ought to he coined and used, we regard it, more diilieult tj determine. When we arrive at a con clusion we may tell our readers what we think about it. ( "R EEL T Y TO . 1 SIM A L S. The Patron it Gleaner claim to be the "first paper in this part of the State to agitate the enforcement of the law" against cruelty to animals. Our es teemed contemporary 13 slightly mis taken, we think. The Democrat printed several years ago the statute in regard to this crime and has time after time discussed the matter. Bro. Conner was either not in the newspaper field "in this part ol the State," or overlooked our comments on the statute. The Democrat is glad to welcome the I'at rin Glcctif r into this fight for the helpless dumb creatures, ljet's all pull together ami we can inaugurate reform on this line. The Democrat always rejoices in uccess of North Carolina bovs out of tlilS State, and m it too, as for that. Last Sunday's Richmond Uisjatch made intfesting mention of I'rcf. J. R. Hunter. North Carolina scholar who was electeV istrv in RiehnXonu Colle'e." Prof. Hunter recently !eivercd a 'cture on "Chemistry and therts. "fThe lec ture was highly complice!. tlie press, which is a matter o:creat grati fication to Prof. Hunter's Xriends in North Carolina. He Is quite young man to fill such an important position in a meat institution, and Nortn Caro lina is proud of him and his work.

Among other thing-' of interest which the 0L x rn r says about Mr. Devereux is the following which will interest the peo ple of Halifax county. Tie vras for many years a prominent practitioner in the Supreme court, and the United States District Attorney for North Carolina, and, after retiring from practice in 1N!", was for a long time chairjnan of the Court of Pleas and (Quarter Sessions of Halifax coun ty where he lived and had large farm ing interests. "He had bought a very large quan tity of salt, about the commencement of the late war between the State, in tending to use it as a fertilizer, but see ing that many people in hi section needed the salt he abandoned nis origi- needed the salt he abandoned in- ongi- nal intention, and exhibited his gener- osify in di.-tributing it (a much needed articlo at that time) hut the giu was i 1 -''' i"--" ' that those who got the salt should knit socks, which was done, and he gave the sation demanded, yet the transaction is impressed with the character of kind generosity and noble patriotism on the part of ?dr. Devereux. He is now rratefullv remembered bv manv of our old citizens, especially in Halifax coun ty." SEWS AND OBSERVER, SEXT! Gasloaia Ga'ittc. Last week the Scotland Neck Dem ocuat printed under the same heading an opinion of one of th; most prosper on farmers of Bertie county in favor of the gold standard and a different j opinion of one of the most prominent young lawyers in the State m favor of the "white metal." The Raleigh A'ct.s and Observer whack the article in two and prints only the tail of it ; other JC, 1 to one papers copy from the Raleigh Garbler and people get only half the news. Is the Kaleigh morning daily a newspaper or an organ? It it owns its own soul and fears not to print the news and the truth, it missed here a golden opportunity to indicate it. Mr. S. E. Williams, a prominent, and progressive attorney, has purchased the Lexington Dispatch. We welcome Mr. William into the field of journal istic endeavor and feel sure that North Carolina Democracy will feel the force of his pen. On the first page of this issue we print at the request of a lady the act passed by the Legislature in ISiU, touching the study of alcohol in our public schools. We are not prepared to say whether or not that law ha ev er been put into effect. If it has. it is well : but if it has not, it would be a good thing to have it incorporated In to the work of our public echcole. Senator Butler has sent out a circu lar letter to the Populist chairman in each county concerning the political situation. He says Populists ought not to be 111 a hurry about conventions, but wait until after the county conven tions by the two old parties. The most remarkable thing he said in his letter was, that "a Republican Legislature next time would be almost as bad a a Democratic Legislature !" Results tell the Story. A vast mass ol direct, unimpeachable testimony proves beyond any possibility of doubt that Hood's Sarsaparilla act ually does perfectly and permanently cure diseases caused by impure blood. Its record of cures i unequalled and these cures have often been accomplish- alter all other preparations had tail 's Pills cure all liver ilia, jaun- digebtion, sick headache. iedV i tVxkI FAjlMS IS TLX A S.

What is irnen considered, ruinou.. It is s.V:d the land ! is rich enough and fertilizing is harm ful. Still I think I have never yet seen lands o rich, that could not in some wfly be improved by fertilizing. Diversified crop.-, are not thought of here. It is corn, cotton and. ,-rghum vcar after vear. Again, their farming implements are not uch a s this deep. rich soil requires, especially for the long months of drought this, country is subject to, causing crops to fire and be lesri productive. I have told them of the kainit we use, its object m keeping oif rust, and creating a moisture, its being benelioial in those long, dry seas ons. They say oats do in.it jro w well here. The mistake there, I think. i sowing in spring instead of fall, as the few I have seen sowed at that season look well. They are never grazed. This would aid their stock greatly and not injure the growing crop. Peas sown on oat stubble lsa thing unknown here. This would ndd to forage for winter as they depend entirely for this on sorghum. This is sowed broadcast, and in a green state is mowed and stacked. It is coarse and nothing to compare with t lie forage used 1)3' us ; consequently cattle and other stock in winter do not fare so well. No clover -u amvu Thev tell me hundreds of cat- Ue dle nt that ,en.on, when "northern ,ow Up The averag yield of natural land is Mrom 1U to J . barrels ot corn per acre. This I think might be doubled by util izing what is thrown away. Cotton i really no better than with us. t is their only money crop. They Tiay 1 a hundred for picking out. They are bound to make it to pay debts they say. Some lands would make tobacco, but are generally too rich. Peanut could j be raised in abundance, especially the Spanish pea. Vines a a forage for j winter use would greatly enhance their value. There are farmers here owning thousands and thousands of acre of land being cultivated entirely by rent ers, giving crop of corn and crop of cotton. All the seed of the cotton crop are sold to oil mill? excepting those re served for planting. They use two smail mules or horses to the plow for running row, to cotton and corn piant- ers and for plowing crops. Among so many mules and horses you see very few fine animal. Such as are sold there would be considered vorv fine here, but more attention is being paid in that line All vegetables grow well and abund antly, though they have the same pests in the form of worms and bugs on them that we have. Peaches and berries are fine, but no apples. Domestic fowls are raised m greatest abundance. We are having beautiful weather, crops grow ing rapidly and dowers blooming. It looks here now like middle of May there and we are enjoying this delight ful climate. J. T. Lawrence. Telephone from Littleton. Correspondence to The Democrat Littleton, N. C, April 0, 1S9G. An effort is being made lor a tele phone connection between Panacea Springs and Littleton. Rev. Mr. McNamara moved into town recently for the purpose of running n ..c,T,:jior, n.,nt: (-no v. rqiariotte and -son have left. The widow Stigall has opened a mil linery store in the store-house which E. A. Bobbitt formerly occupied. Mr. M. E. Spruill, the post master of Littleton, is having timber hauled for the erection of a new residence on Bellis' Avenue. One of Mr. Jim Williams' pons is very low with pneumonia. There was Easter service in the M. E. church last night. "BasDexV Deafness Cannot re Cure i) by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion" of' the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional xemedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you Have a rumbling sound or imperfect healing, ar-d when entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and tins tube restored to its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness(caused by ca tarrh) tb.it cannot be cured bv Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars dree.
