The Raleigh News and Observ er says : "There is a farmer in North Carolina who has a reas onable prospect of gathering on his crop for 1892, 225,000 pounds of lint cotton, 25,000 bushels of corn. It required over 500 bags of fertilizer to plant this tobacco crop. The cotton, being on rich, fresh land, requires no fertilizer. To have this crop produced is not very difficult To have it produce leave a clear profit' principal producer. so as to to the 'Hie labor, hoc opus est.' This farmer made his tirt cotton in the ear 1867. There was a se vere panic in the lall of 1867. Cotton fell to 7 cents pei pound and many farmers were ruined. This man had slept on a bank and patched his own clothes during u.e year and owed noth ing on his crop. He sold in the the spring and had rroney. At that time he did not own one acre of land. He now owns very many acres, and some ve. y valu b!e acres, made principally by farming with close economy. Any young mnwith good health, plenty of energy and close econo my can accomplish as much or more than he has." THE NEWS. News of the Week from All Parts of the World as Cleaned from the Press.

A man named Cochran has been sent from Macon county to the penitentiary for twentv vears for murder in the second degree. Fayettevllle Observer: Amidst the applause of a large number of Cumberland's fair women, the old court house site was knoked down to Mrs. C. W. Broadfoot for $25 Saturday evening and was presented by her to the Monument Association. The WilkesboroChron'c'esays: "R M. Stanly got a half bushel of apples from Sharp Davis, of the Brushes, last week. He said they all averaged one and a hall pounds and nine ounces. Superintendent Leazier. of the State penitentiary has made the following statement of the crop on the State farms: "We planted an area of twenty per cent, more cotton this year on the peLiterf tentiary farms, and from present appearances we will gather about the same number of bales that we sold last year. If this expec tation is realized, at present prices we will get in the neighbor hood of $25,000 more for th' crop than last year. If the price goes to ten cents, the increase will be over $30,000. An Appropriation of S500. For Colored Agricultural Association at Newbern. The following clipping from the News and Observer under the the caption of "Who Got the Money?" indicates that there was a job put up for some one at the expense of the tax payers of the State. If there has been any colored fair at Newbern we have not heard of it. The News and Observer says: "During the session of the Legislature, a bill was passed, appropriating $500, to the Ori ental Industrial, Stock, Fruit and Agricultural Fair Association of Newbern. This is an annual ap propriation and runs for eight years. The charter members are W. W. Lawrence. M. P. Holly. R.G. Mosely,Sr ,E.R. Dudley. M. T. Bryan, J. F Stanly, S. A. Vail, Peter Fisher, Jr., I H. Smith. H. H.Simmons, H J. Green. The place of business is at Newbern, and the money presumably for an agricultural fair. A warrant was drawn and paid last August for the $500. and, of course, there must have been a fair in New bern and $500 worth of premi ums; for the $500 by the bill is to be expended only in premiums. If this is all right, it is at least exceptional. Appropriations of this kind are made for State fairs, for instance $500, for the colored State fair at Raleigh, but there is no appropriatioa for a fair simi lar to this one at Newborn. The bill was ratified on that eventful 13th day of March. Per haps the files of the Newbern papers may have some gorgeous accounts of this fair, for the pre miums at which $500 have thus been appropriated for the next eight years."

The time has come for the United States to cease helping bpam indirectly to tyranize over Cuba or to prevent her effort to ree herself from the Spanish op pression in such manner as does not conflict with the provisions of international law. Thi Spanish oppressor was driven out of Mexico and the Central and South American States by successful revolutions many years ago, but has man aged to keep her fetters on Cuba By her fleet she keeps away am un: on, arms, medicine, volun- ers an other assistance from the patriots in their struggle for liberty. Spain has a navy while Cuba has not a catboat. and that navy has been kept there, almost within gunshot ol South ern Flori la. protecting the Span ish tyrants while they plundered the Cubans, both to th ir and our disadvantage. And the American navy is employed in tercepting all re-enforcement-, arms and powderfor th Cubans From time immemorial Span has been tyrant, butcher and plunderer in Cuba. She has ex terminated the original Indian race; she has mercilessly butch ered the Cuban people whenere they protested against her t ran ny. She has imposed upon them an enormous civil list of tax eat ers. She has not allowed them to trade with Americans upon satisfactory terms. We have furnnished the money and mar ket for her vast sugar, tobacco, and fruit crops, and Spain has taken it by compt lling the Cubans to buy from her at her exhorbi tant prices, and thus Cuba has been stripped for years by doub ling and trebling import, export, and excise duties. The Cuban orange has been squeezed dry. If Cuba were free she would pass under American trade influences; she would buy from her custom ers; he would have better rail roads and highways. Her re markable resources would be de veloped by American capital and her business would rapidly in crease if she bad the moral pro tection of the country and were freed from Spanish exactions and absorptions. Chicago Tribune. ELECTRIC BITTERS. Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but per haps more generally needed, when the languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medi cine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more sun ly in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison.

He viewed lite alter reaching old age and here is the sum ol the whole matter: "1 despise humanity in all its strata. I foresee that our pos terity will be far more unhappy than we are. The who!e of life is insanity." Blot the Bible out and the dark picture would indeed be real. Ex. CHANOE IN PARTIES That there is discontent in the parties and more or less dis tegration going on is apparent to those who watch closely the political corks. The splendid victory for the Democrats in In dianapolis is a great surprise A change of 6,500 votes in a year is remarkable, but is count ed for. Some 1,400 Republicans voted with tbe Democrats, and some thousands refused to vote. It was a local issue mainly that caused the Democratic triumph. There are many surprises ahead. Some strange fellowships will be seen and many changes in party affiliation will occur be fore 1896 ends. Ex. BARBARITIES CONTINUE IN TURKEY. The Turkish police have closed the Armenian churches, in the ef fort to compel the people who have taken shelter in the build ings tc return to their homes Additional reports of the massa cre of Christians at various points in Asia Minor have been received in Constantinople. THE KIND OF A DEMOCRAT HE IS. Senator John W. Dani.-l made a speech in Roanoke the other night and is reported as saying that some people call him a crank, and he confessed that the charge contained much truth, but no matter, he said, "what a Democrats views were on the silver question, the Democratic party was very much nearer to him than the Republican." There are those in Virginia who differ with Senator Daniel on the monetary question, among them some of his warmest and best of friends. It is something new to hear him called a crank. He is one of the most cultured men in public life to-day, as well as one of the ablest He justly stands high with his people, Virginians honoi him and differ as they may with bim, they know him to be true, and honest, and sincere, and outspjken in his convic tions Fx. MARVELOUS RESULTS. From a tetter written by Rev. J. Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make tb is extract: "I have no hesi tation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re sults were almost marvelous in the case of my vife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rivers unction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interup tion and it seemed as if she could not survive tuem. A friend rec ommended Dr. King's New Dis covery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in re sults." Trial bo. ties free at Hood Bros., Smithfield, Edger ton & Hare, Selma, N. C.

I have seen numberless women of unclassical form, irregular fea tures and complexion other than that of the "milk white doe" who who were beautiful, charming and lovely. I have known such women whose physical appear ance entered not the minds of any in their presence. Again, I have seen women with the face and figure of the Milonian Venus who were unlovely or even re pellant by reason of their vanity, selfishness, flippancy, venality or other vile traits. The soul, the visible soul is beauty and divin ity! How few of the Supreme women of the earth have borne any resemblance at any time of their life to feminine models in Greek scu'pture! John Swinton in Philadelphia Times. Grand, swelling sentiments of liberty I am sure I do not despise. They warm the heart, they en large and liberalize our minds; thev animate our courage in a time of conflict. Burke. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report Selections and Quotations. WOMAN. The wor'd was sad! the garden WHM a wild! The man, the hermit, slg-hsd till wo mar railed. Campbell. Rev. Dr. P. H. Hoge, pastor of the First Presbyterian church in this city, has a poem in the last North Carolina Presbyterian that begins with these impressive lines: "Beyond the stars I know not what ma r be Unfathomable depths, abyses vast wherein no liirht of sun or star Is seen. Or any creature's voice dotb evar break The silences profound. B it this I know (.And knowing this need know naught else beside). That God is there beyond the stars." Repentance hath a purifying power, and every tear is of a cleansing virture South. He who reforms himself, has done more towards reforming the public, than a crowd of noisy, impotent patriots. Leva ten. What is the worst woes that await on age? What stamps the wrinkle deep er on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from file's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now. Byron. OUR DEAD. Nothing is our own. We hold our pleasures Just a little while ere they are fled. One by one life robs us of our treasures. Nothing is our own except our dead. They are ours, and bold in faith ful keeping Safe forever all they took away. Cruel life can never stir that sleeping; Cruel time can never seize that prey. HONESTY. Because I cannot flatter, and speak fair, Smile in mens' faces, smooth, de ceive and cog, Duck with French nods and apish courtesy, I must beheld a rancorous enemy . Cannot a plain man live and think no harm? But thus bis simple trust must be abused By silken, sly, insinuating jacks. Shakespeare. DEATH. Mount, mount, my soul! thy seat is up on high; Whilst my gross flesh sinks downward here to die. Shakespeare. HEALTH. Thou chiefest good! Bestowed by Heaven, but seldom under stood. Lucan. LOVE. The rose is fairest when 'tis bud ding new, And hope is brightest when it dawns from fears. The rose is 8 we test washed with morning dew. And love is lovlier when em balmed in tears. Scott. Love and Marriage. That matrimony is a happier state than celibacy when it means a union of hearts as well as of fortunes there is little doubt, but, though many people marry for love, or something they mistake for it, very few of these unions lead to lasting happiness. Why is this? The great reason seems to be that in most lives the ruling pas sion is self, and upon this rock everything which comes in con tact with it is shattered sooner or later. A man will often fancy himself very much : 1 love with a p.etty and sprightly girl, and all the more so if she has some means of her own. Now, the real fact of the case very likely is simply that the girl amuses him, ami he pictures a little home with her as its mistress as a pleasant change from bachelor "diggings." In fact, what he calls love is only another name for pure, unadulterated selfish ness. He thinks of himself and not of her, aud when he discovers, as he soon will, after marriage, that she has rights, claim and wishes to be satisfied as well as himself, he will probably at first feel very much surprised, and then agrieved and indignant. CENERAL NEWS ITEMS. The damage by frost to the Kentucky tobacco crop was very great. That with the short crop there and the short crop in Vir ginia, it may be expected thnt the price of this popular weed will rise very considerably in the markets of tbe.world.Tbc upward turn has not come yet, but know ing ones expect it. During his life time Jay Gould raised a row because the tax as sessors made him pay tax on $500,000 worth of property It is now ascertained that he ought, to have paid on 188,000,000, There ought to be some way to reach the tax now. The great American sculptor, William Wetmore Story, who died in Valambrosa Monday, was a native of Massachusetts. It has been announced that Senator Hill, of New York, is to take a hand in theObiocampaign. If your children are subject to croup watch for the first symp tom of the disease hoarseness.

Sterling Morton, Seretarv of Agricutlture, givc utterance to the following, as hi views in regard to growin; horses for meat export: "I believe more money can I made raising other kinds 1 meats, and I do not believe i these stories about the mone which Americans can make In shipping horse sausage to Get many. The Germans have a tai iff on horse meat of more tha; two cents per pound, and th. the French have a similar tarifi Itis true that horse meat is usee more extensively every year it. Europe than in the past. Be twen 1880 and 1893, more than 100,000 were killed thero. for huraanconsumption, and in 1K93 the total weight of dressed horse flesh used amounted to more than 48,000,000 pounds. They use every part of the horse and have horse steaks and horse roasts, and there are horse meat restaurants, where vou can buy horse soup. I would not like to eat it. I feel very much concerning it like my wile did about one of n herd of deer which we had on our place in Nebraska, and which was accidentally shot. It was a pretty little doe, and when it was brought home, it still had a blue ribbon fastened about its neck which we had fastened to it. 'Well, there is one thing about it, you can give us some fresh meat.' My wife replied: 'Why, my dear, I would just as soon think of eating a slice of one of the chil dren.' It is the same with the horse. It is too close to us. We love it too much to ever want to eat it, and it will be a long time before there will ever be a market for horse meat in America."
