' Something new is the translation of the New Testament into the Scotch of Barns by a Scotch-Canadian min ister aged 80 years. In his translation into the Scotch the Lord's Prayer reads as follows : "Fi.ither o ns a', b:din Aboon. Thy name be holle ! Lat Thy reign Legin ! LatThy wuil be done, baith in irth and Heevin ! Gie us ilka day oor need ful feudin. And forgie us a' oor 111 deeds, as we een fargae tbae wha did us ill ; and lat us no be siftit ; but save us frae the Ill-Ane ; for the croon is Thine ain ; and the micht and the ;lorie, for evir and evir, Amen." The N. C. Baptist, published at Fay- ettiville, says that the Holt-Morgan and the Tolar-Holt Cotton Mills, which are situated a mile and a half from Fayettiville, have entered into an agreement for the erection and main tenance of a good school for their op eratives. The public school fund will be supplemented by private fund and the school will be made nine months in the year. These manufacturers have also made a rule that no child under twelve years shall work in their mills, and these must be strong and able-bodied. All the people will commend the wis dom and prudence of such a course, and other manufacturers will do well to nave regard to the example here cited. Rural mail delivery is a subject or much prominence before the people of this country now. It has been estab lished in quite a number of States of the Union and in many cases it is quite successful. There are some routes in- operation in North Carolina now, one in New Hanover county especially which has attracted attention, and new ones to start in Wake soon. The system designs to give the people in the country districts their mail every day delivered at their doors. Congressman James M. Griggs, of Georgia, contributes quite an interest ing article to the Atlanta Journal on the subject. Indeed he has pushed the matter in Congress with more vig or than any one else. . The first step taken in the work, he says, was in 1893 when $10,000 was appropriated fur "ex perimenting with free rural delivery." The postmaster general declined to use the money for such purpose and it was turned back into the treasury. The matter was taken up again in 1894 when Congress appropriated $2O,0C0, and again the post office department declined to use the money, but Post master General Wilson agreed that if the next Congres should insist be would give it a test. Congress again appro priated $10,000 and the work com menced. In 1896 Congress appropriated $50, 000, and when Congressman Griggs entered that body as a member from Georgia he took up the matter and pushed it vigorously. His bill asking for a million dollars for rural delivery work almost caused merriment in Congress, but the appropriation was made $150,000. Next year it was in creased to $300,000. Then $150,000 was added and $450,000 was spent in establishing rural delivery for the year ending June 30, 1900. The demand for the service grew and Congressman Griggs maae the motion which passed in the committee and in the House that the amount for tLe current year be $1,750,000. - For Georgia Mr. Griggs predicts that every farmer in the S tate will soon have his mail . delivered at his gate, and the life of the country people will be greatly blessed by tho convenience. It may yet become general.

Chairman F, 21. Simmons Has Bent THE FOLLOWING LETTER TO PRESIDENT McZJNLEY. Democratic Headquarters State Executive Committee, Raleigh N.C., July 16, 1900. Honorable William McKiuley, the President, Executive Mansion, Wash ington City, D. C. : Sir The people of this State will hold a general State election on the second day of August of this year, for the purpose of electing county and State officers and to take the sense of the people upon a proposition to amend the constitution of the State. No Fed eral officer will be elected or voted for at this election ; and before the nation al election in November, under the Mate election Jaw, the registration books will be open for five daj's to give every elector not already register td an opportunity to have his came placed on the registration books. In the consideration and determin ation of these purely local questions, I respectfully submit that our people are entitled to exemption lrom med dlesome interference on the part of Federal office holders, whether acting officially, under color of their office, or individually, by using the opportuni ties given them to unduly influence those with whom they are i vested in a manner intended and calculated to over awe and intimidate the electors of the State in the exercise of tbeirfree will at the ballot box, or the election officers of the State in the discharge of their official aunes. Both as a citizen of this State and is the chosen representative of a polit ical party numhering 178,000 votera, I feel warranted by the conditions now sxisting in the State in making the charge that your appointees located in this State are now dally, and since the inception of the political campaign now in progress, have been flagrantly and openly, without the slightest at tempt at disguise or concealment, using their official positions, the in dividual mflnence which tbey give, the opportunties which they affoi-d and the power with which they invest them, not only to control the conven tions f.r.n the voters fit the political party to which they belong, but to unduly influence voters of the oppos ition party, to coerce and intimidate the individual citiienin theexercise of his poll teal' right?, and to browbeat and intirridate the election officers of the State in the d'scl arge of their duties, to the jjreat scandal of your ad ministration anrI iu defiance of the letter as well a the spirit and princi ples of the constitution and the soeallerl civil service laws of Congress, to the maintenance of which jour administration is Hedged in the most solemn manner. In making these charges I but give expression to the righteous, protest of the people of this btate against this open infraction of the highest political rights guaranteed to them by the com pact between them and the Federal government; namely, the right of eelf oveanment, unhampered by Federal interference. So far has this thing of interference by Federal office holders gone in this State this year that if we were not en gaged in the discussion and attempted settlement of a question which vi t affects our civilization, the paramount issue in thio State to-day wuld be whether we are to have goyernment by the people or by the Federal office holders. I beg most respectfully to give you a brief outline and summary of some of the facts upon which I base these shaiges and statements : The. Republican campaign in North Carolina opened, with the meeting in this city on the 18th day of May, 1900 of the Republican State convention. This convention was largely a conven tion of Federal office-holders. It wna composed of two hundred and forty delegates. A leading Republican ot this city openly stated a few days sub sequent to its adjournment that more than half of these delegates held Fed eral offices and that they completely dominated its deliberations. A leading newspaper of this city published dur ing the session of this convention the names of nearly one hundred of these delegates, giving the Federal offices held by each. I send you herewith the names of some of those who were either delegates or present, participating and directing its deliberations. Among them are numerous postmasters, deputy marshals, store-keepers, gaugers collect ors and customs deputies, census en umerators, departmental officials, the two collectors of internal revenae for the eastern and western districts, the district attorneys for these two districts, etc. This convention appointed delegates to the National Republican conyention at Philadelphia. I have not a list ol these delegates, but the delegation was composed largely of those holding the chief Federal positions in the State, among them Collectors of Internal Revenue Ducan and Harkins and Post master Bailey of this city. The chairman of the State Executive committtee of the Republican party is the Hon. A. E. Holton, United States district attorney for the Western district of this State, and on this com mittee are many of the leading Federal office holders of the State. It is notorious in this State that Fed eral office-holders not only controlled the State convention of the Republican party this year, but that they have COBESTwiME ALL tLS fAF!ST " " Beet Cough Syrup. Tastes Good. tJse I in time, ooia or a rums mm. i been the dominating element in nearly all the district and county conventions of their party throughout the State. They dictate the nominations, not only of State officials, Congressmen and electors, but cf county officers as well. The two collectors of internal reve nue for this State, by reason of the large number of officers under them, are the recognized managers and dominating spirits in neariy all the conventions of their party within their respective di visions. They frequently attend in person the district conventions within their territory, aud through their in fluence and that of their subordinates, effect nominations. The Hon. Thomas Sett'e ofAshville, ex-member of Con gress, and the Hon. Isaac M. Meekins of Elizabeth Citv, who has been victi mized by the machinations of these office-holders, can furnish you with confirmatory evidence of these state ments. Not only are Republican conventions controlled by this element, but the conventions of their political allies, the Populists, are likewise so controlled. In the late State convention of the Populist party many of the leading and most influential figues were men holding positions to which you had appointed them. While tbeie were not as many delegates holding Federal offices in this convention as in the Republican convention, they were qually as potential in shaping its policy and it is a matter of general knowledge in this State that it is this office hold ing contigent iu the Populist party which has forced upon it the unnatural compact that today makes it to all in tents and purposes a part of the Re publican party. In every section of this State deputy collectors, deputy marshals, deputy col lectors of customs, store-keepers and gaugers, and clerks in these seyeral departments of the service are conspic uous for their activity in local politics. Their offensive partisanship is the sub ject of general remark and universal scandal. Wherever they go in the discharge of their duties they distribute partisan literature and agitate in favor of the candidates and policies of their party. They attend public speakings, sometimes travelling long distances to do so, often travelling out of their di visions. It Is openly charged that in many instances persons engaged in the sale and manufacture of liquor are shown leniency or treated with harsh ness by these subordinates for partisan reasons. Recently the honor ble judge of the Eastern district of North Caro lina, in sentencing two negro post masters appointed during 3Tour admin istration, for defalcation in office, took occasion to animadvert upon the seem ing effort of certain Federal officials to secure leniency for these offenders. Since the beginning of this campaign an attorney charged in open court in his address to the jury that there was an understanding between certain illicit distillers and the revenue official? to screen the former on account of theii politics, and when the district attorney demanded that he give the names of places and persons he gave them both without the slightest hesitation. It is charged, and not denied, that in many sections of the State fourth class postmasters have been extremely and offensively active in politics, discussing partisan questions in and from their offices and distributing partisan litera ture. A census enumeration has just been completed in this State. All of thes enumerators were either Republicans or fusion Populists. I have received hundreds of complaints of the offensive and political activity of these officer. while engaged in the discharge of their duties, not only in the destribut'on of partisan literature by them as they went about from house to house in the discharge of their duties, but frequently injecting into the inquir ies which they were required by law to make, inquiries as to the political views and purposes of the citizen, with reference to the political questions now pending in this State, and in at tempting to persuade in behalf of theii party those whose political views they might influence. It is also currently rumored and un derstood that the entire Federal office holding body in this State, in utter disregard of tbe ci vd service regulations have been assessed for Republican and fusion campaign purposes. Of course, I do not pretend to know for what purpose this money has been sent ; tut the enclosed affidavit of W. Roy Sonerviile will show how part of this lund nas been invested. 1 send you this affidavit because it establishes the charges of offensive partisanship which I have herein before preferred against the collector of internal reven ue and district attornev of the Westeri district, and because it shows, if the statements of Mr. Somerville are true, a transaction not only partisan in Its character, but, to say the least, of questionable morals. Your attention is called to the fact that the affidavit shows they bought no interest in the property of the paper, but only bought the opinion and the conscience of its editor- Recently this State has been flooded with circulars threatening the arrest ol the State election officers under war rants to be issued by the United States commissioners, with the approval of the Republican chairman as district attorney of the Western district, and of the district attorney of the Eastern, dis trict. I herewith enclose you one of these circulars. Strenuous efforts have been made by the Republican State chairman, who is also, as I have stated, district attorney, to frighten these elec tion officers into construing and enforc ing our State registration laws in ac cordance with his views of their mean ing and the interests of the party he represents. To accomplish this result the fact that tbe chairman ot the lte- Btanthe Signature The Kind You Haw Always EkwgM ! publican party is also United S ates I district attorney has baen emphasized, I for the purpose, it is believed, or sug- gesting the idea that, as district attorn i ey, he could invoke the authority of the United states government to carry out the threats made by him as chair man. Only a few days ago two of these registrars were arrested by United States marshals under warrants sworn out in the home town of the Western district attorney and his assistant, and approved by the latter. When these registrars were brought to trial, al though both of these officers were at home during the whole time of tbe trial, neither of them appeared to re present the government; and although the district attorney was in the court room during the whole trial, he was not present as prosecutor for the gov ernment, but as the representative of the Republican party, while the gov ernment was represented by private counsel who, during tbe trial, spoke of themselves as representing the Repub lican party. I have understood that private counsel could only appear in government prosecutions by consent of the department. It may be that the department had in this cas given such consent ; if so, as the government' attorneys were present and not other wise engaged, there would seem to have been no reason for the employ ment of private counsel by the govern ment, except that one of its prosecut ing attorneys was chairman of a politi cal organization, interested in the pros ecution for political purposes, while the other was a candidate for Con gress, and in that way interested in tbe result. This complication would seem to justify the civil service regulation against a government official holding the position of manager of a political organization. Under this statement of facts, I sub mit I am justified in calling your at tention to the apparently organized interference and the offensive activity ot your appointees in this State in our local politics and of their attempt to use their official positions to influence tbe results of the campaign now in prog resc in this State, and in the interests of the party with which they are affil iated. I am, yours lespectfully, F. M. SIMMONS, Chairman State Executive Committee Democratic Partv of North Carolina. Twenty Million Pins A Day. Ifew York Herald. It requires an average of more than 20,000,000 pins per day to sustain the falling skirts, replace the missing sus pender buttons and meet the other needs of the American people. What becomes of all these pins is a question that nobody has been able to answer, but thsre is ho falling off in tbe de mand, so that this number must disap pear in some manner every day. It is bard to imagine anything sim pler than a pin, and it is a strikicg proof of the complications of our mod ern industrial sye tem that every pin in the course of its manufacture passes through a dozen separate processes, in volving the greatest skill on the part of the operatives emyloyed and the action of a great amount of automatic machinery. The pin makes its appearance at the factory in the form of barrels of coiled brass wire. The first process is that of straightening the wire. The coils are placed on revolving racks aud fed from these into little machines, from thti vise-like grip of which they emerge perfectly straight. Thence the wire is fed into the pin-making machine, which is almost as complicated as a printing press. A sharp knile cuts the wire off into uniform length ot the desired sizes. As each little length of wire drops from the knile it 1. Us upon a small wheel, the edges of which are notched into grooves just large enough, to hold the bits of wire. Each piece is carried along by the wheel until an iron finger and thumb seize and hold it firmly, while an au tomatic hammer, by a single smart blow puts a head on one end. Then the embryo pins fall upon another grooved wheel, which revolves horizon tally. As they move on in the clasp of this second wheel tbe projecting ends pass over a number of circular steel files, which neatly grind them to a point. Further on they encounter a pumice stone, which smoothes off the filed ead, and then they drop into a wooden receiving box. S far no work man's band has touched the pins in their progress from the reel. The cut ting, heading, pointing and smoothing have all been doue by the wonde rf ul automatic machinery. From the wooden boxes the pins go to the "whitening" room, where they are cleaned in revolving barrels filled with sawdust and receive a nickel coat ing in big vats. Then they are dried in tbe sawdust barrels and are run through a "sorting" machine. It is impossible to get tbe better of this ma chine. The big department stores and wholesale dealers buy their pins by tb? case. A case contains 108 dozen pa pers, 360 pins in each paper. A Single order from the largest stores usual! v cal's for 100 cases, or nearly 50,000,000 pins. The One Day Cold CTure.

Virginian-Pilot, July 15th. This is a disastrous season for truck farmers," said a prominent railway offi cial, speaking to a reporter for the Virginian-Pilot. "It Is the worst season they have experienced for several years." This official is In a position to know, and he Is one of the best informed men in the city. Hence the reporter went among the shipping agents to get the following details in confirmation of tne railway official's statement. The potato crop is the largest and most important crop tbe truckers grow. That is the one which shows the greatest depreciation. Everybody grows potatoes, consequently a depre ciation in that crop is universally felt Potatoes are selling at 75 cents to $1.25 a barrel. This time last year they were selling for $2.50 to $3.50 a barrel. That is a tremendous fall in price. It signifies $75 for a hundred barrels which brought last year $250. One trucker says that the largest po tato grower in his neighborhood hits declined to ship his potato crop at all. The price is so low that the returns will not pay the cost of harvesting packing transporting. He is plowing the ground to plant corn for fodder to feed stock. The potatoes will be left in tbe field to rot. As to other crops, the returns are variable but less disastrous than the potato crop. Tomatoes are selling well at $1.25 a carrier. That is a case that contains two baskets. They could be shipped profitably, or at least without loss, tor 65 cents. The cabbage crop was an excellent yield, but the prices did not justify shipping more than one-half of the crop. The price at tbe end ot the season fell to 50 and 75 cents a barrel One-haif of the crop remained in the field unharvested. Asparagus was a short, email crop, which paid well. But there are few growers. The prices were good, $2 to $4 a box of a dozen bunches. The early crops of spinach and kale were satisfactory. Not much isexpect ed of them. The strawberry crop was profitable in spots. The long drought and the cold, late spring deferred the maturity of the berries till tfcey were too late to get the high prices of the early mar ket of the Northern cities. The price declined and tbe quality of the berries became inferior, so that a great many fields were left unpicked. The price ranged fr.m i to 14 cents a quart. Thus It was about a stand-off on tbe early crops. Farmers, therefore, ex pected to realize their profits and pay bills out of the returns of the potato crop They have done neither. Hence it seems true, as the railroad official declares that this is a disastrous season for the truck farmers. CONSUMPTION never stops because the .weather Is warm.
